5 SECURITY TIPS TO KEEP YOUR BUSINESS SAFE DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON

 * Security
 * Top Business Tips

December 2, 2021 | Business Security


This post was originally published on December 7, 2017, and has been updated for
comprehensiveness and accuracy.

Tis’ the season!

It’s that time of the year again. You’ve decorated the office, planned the
office holiday party, and exchanged gifts. But have you taken the necessary
steps to secure your business for the holidays?

Here are 5 security tips to keep your business safe during the holiday season:


1. REVIEW SECURITY POLICIES WITH EMPLOYEES

One of the first steps to securing your business is to review your company
security policy with all of your employees. Confirm everyone is on the same page
and understands company security procedures. Some points to review include:

 * Protocol for locking up valuables while everyone is away on the holiday
   break.
 * The company cyber security policy, especially if employees are going to be
   working remotely or traveling over the holidays.
 * Rules about inviting guests into the workplace for holiday functions.
 * Your security action plan in case of an emergency.
 * Days when the office is completely closed and when employees can return to
   the workplace.


2. ENSURE ALL SECURITY EQUIPMENT IS WORKING

Once you’ve gone over the company security policy and procedures, test all
security equipment to make sure it is working properly, including:

 * Alarm systems
 * Cyber security software
 * Smart locks and access control systems
 * Panic buttons
 * Surveillance cameras

After you’ve tested all of your company’s security equipment, check to make sure
nothing will obstruct it, like holiday decorations.

While you’re evaluating your equipment and making sure it is functioning
properly, now is a great time to evaluate if your gear needs an upgrade. Check
out our guide on upgrading your security plan if you are ready for something
new.


3. UPDATE ALARM COMPANY ON SPECIAL HOLIDAY HOURS

Your business may have a different work schedule during the holidays. Let your
monitoring alarm service know when the business is closed so that they can watch
for unusual activity. Also, review your emergency call list, and update it if
necessary. If the alarm does sound, the alarm company will need to have the
right contact information.

Additionally, you also want your clients to know about your modified business
hours during the holiday season. You can update your business hours on Google My
Business listings or post updates on your social media or website.


4. BE CAUTIOUS USING PUBLIC WI-FI

Checking your business email using public Wi-Fi can seem harmless, but it’s not.
Your personal information and confidential business data can be left vulnerable.

If employees are working remotely over break, protect your company’s data with a
Virtual Protected Network (VPN). A VPN allows your employees to retrieve
resources from your comp


5. LOCK UP

This may seem like a no-brainer, but it’s extremely important. Lock all of your
business entrances and windows when you leave for the holiday break, as well as
individual offices that contain sensitive data.

If your business has an access control system, review all codes and confirm
which employees have access to certain areas.

Even if you feel like you’ve done everything to prepare your business security
this season, don’t be afraid to go through this list again just to double-check.
Santa makes his list and checks it twice—so should you.
