The importance of keyholding for your business
As businesses and private property owners grapple with the complexities of managing access and ensuring security, keyholding emerges as a vital solution. Regency recognises the critical role that effective keyholding plays in safeguarding assets, providing emergency response, and offering peace of mind. Keyholding is an indispensable service to ensure that a set of keys to your premise is securely held off-site, allowing trained security professionals to respond swiftly to alarm activations or emergencies.
BY ALLOWING REGENCY ACCESS TO YOUR PROPERTY, YOU ENTRUST US WITH SAFEGUARDING IT
Our keyholding service is structured to ensure ease of use, rapid response, and utmost security for your property. From the initial registration and key handover to the final resolution of any incidents, we offer a seamless and efficient keyholding service designed to provide maximum security, convenience for our clients, and, most importantly, peace of mind.
REGISTRATION AND KEY HANDOVER
The process begins with your registration for our keyholding service. During this initial phase, we conduct a comprehensive assessment of your premises to understand your specific security needs. Following this, we securely obtain a set of keys to your property. These keys are stored in a secure, off-site location, accessible only to our authorised security personnel. Each set of keys is coded anonymously for security, ensuring no unauthorised identification of the property they open.
ALARM ACTIVATION
Keyholding provides the critical communication link between your business and responsive support, acting as a 24/7 “control room service.” When an intruder alarm sounds on your property, our centralised command centre in Essex receives instant notification and is staffed around the clock with security professionals ready to take immediate action. By choosing professional keyholding, you can count on urgent, effective escalation measures, no matter what time an alarm is triggered. We shorten response gaps and add an indispensable layer of rapid response – providing a critical service for the safety of your business and assets.
SITE INSPECTION AND SECURING
Upon arrival, our officer conducts a thorough inspection of your property to ascertain the cause of the alarm. This includes checking all potential entry points for signs of forced entry or tampering and ensuring that the property is secure. If the alarm is false, our officer will reset the alarm system and secure the property before leaving. In the case of a genuine security breach, our officer will manage the situation according to pre-agreed protocols, which may involve liaising with emergency services and securing the site to prevent further damage or loss.
INCIDENT REPORTING AND FOLLOW-UP ACTIONS
Following the inspection and any necessary immediate response, a detailed incident report is compiled. This report includes the time of the alarm, the response taken, and any findings or actions taken at the property. In the event of a security breach, we also outline follow-up actions, including repair of damages and coordination with law enforcement if necessary.
COMMUNICATION AND REPORTING
Throughout the entire process, communication with our clients is paramount. After resolving an alarm activation, you will receive a comprehensive report detailing our response and any relevant findings. We aim to keep you fully informed at every step, providing transparency and peace of mind. For incidents requiring immediate attention, we establish direct communication with you or your designated contact to ensure you are informed of the situation and our response.
