Top 10 Reasons Why You Need Managed Access Security for Your Business
Today more than ever, it’s sad to say but, you just don’t know who to trust. With employee theft rates on the rise, now more than ever, it’s critical for business owners and managers to be in control of access to their property, businesses and buildings.
According to recently released stats in the U.S., a staggering 71,095 dishonest employees were apprehended in their workplace in 2012, and that figure has most likely risen since then. Employee theft and workplace violence of any kind is just unacceptable and you have to do something about it.
This makes many businesses vulnerable to internal, as well as external threats it’s important to understand the benefits of a Managed Access Control System. Not only can monitored access control systems track and restrict who goes where and when, these systems also only allow authorized users to enter your facility or designated areas at certain times within your facility.
I think there are many good reasons to having a managed access control system as part of your business security system, so here are the main top 10 benefits!
Top 10 benefits of Sonitrol’s managed access control system:

2. Users/employees are less likely to set off false alarms
3. Automatically regulating access reduces the need for onsite security personnel
4. Access control decreases your liability and risk
5. Allows you the ability to know who goes where in your facility and when
6. Helps reduce the possibility of internal and external threats
7. Can track and limit entry to buildings
8. Offers protection for valuable information and data

As an additional security measure for your business we also recommend integrating access security with your total security system so you can be in control of your building’s access! Even more, Sonitrol can manage and monitor your system 24 hours a day from our Monitoring Centre. And we will keep a record of cardholders and generate entry and exit reports for you. If you wish, you can view time, attendance and scheduling reports; disarm a user’s access card or assign access levels; program scheduled door locks/unlocks; and perform other management functions at our password-protected, secure user website.
