What Mistakes Businesses Make About Commercial Security and How FlyLock is Preventing Them

Businesses across the country often take the wrong approach to secure their commercial properties, making critical mistakes that compromise their commercial security. Many business owners believe their current infrastructure is strong enough to protect them for years, with the mindset that they have “something in place”. The reality is that many properties aren’t built to withstand wear and tear, as outdated security systems and poor security strategies put businesses at risk.

At FlyLock Security Solutions, we’re here to help businesses prepare for future security threats, which evolve over time. Aligned with our rebranding, we’re broadening our focus to prioritize delivering advanced integrated solutions that help prevent these common mistakes. We’ll help educate you about the wrong security approaches businesses take and how we’re providing alternate strategies for organizations.

Mistake #1: Viewing Business Security as "One and Done"

A secure workplace isn’t just about implementing business security systems; it’s about creating a safety-first culture that safeguards staff from modern security threats. By upgrading outdated commercial security measures and adding advanced protocols, all internal threats are addressed seamlessly, helping you develop stronger internal security.

Problem:
One of the most common mistakes is when businesses make an initial investment in commercial security solutions but don’t make future changes to their setup. After installing solutions like security cameras, door locks, or access control systems, many businesses don’t keep up maintenance and ignore their need for future upgrades years later. Technology ages quickly, which makes it essential to replace outdated commercial door hardware and security systems, which can become incompatible with other equipment.

FlyLock's Solution
By scheduling annual or bi-annual inspections, you can uncover issues with your equipment, identifying opportunities to upgrade to a new system as technology evolves. Check for solutions like keyless entry and biometric systems that can help modernize your setup, allowing for future integrations as your business grows.

Mistake #2: Focusing on Door Security, Ignoring Other Building Security Needs

Problem:
Businesses sometimes have trouble with their security priorities, believing that by focusing strictly on their commercial door security at their main entrances their entire building is secure. By taking this approach, properties are more vulnerable, as ignoring secondary entrances like side doors and restricted areas can lead to significant issues. Data privacy and internal theft become concerns, as by forgetting about other building security needs, your property’s physical security can be compromised without investing in solutions like video surveillance systems.

FlyLock's Solution:
Create a multi-layered business security structure that features access control systems that account for every point of entry and security cameras that secure the outer perimeter of your property. We’ll help you safeguard every part of your business with our advanced commercial security systems, verifying that there are no blind spots both internally and externally.

Mistake #3: Relying Strictly on Technology, Ignoring Human Factor

Problem:
Businesses can sometimes be under the impression that implementing advanced technology can resolve all of their security issues, which is not the case. While advanced physical security systems play a large role in improving security, they don’t account for human errors. Issues of shared or lost credentials, a lack of door security strategies, and no policies in place for onboarding and offboarding, many security threats can arise.

FlyLock's Solution
Our team implements role-based access control solutions that help manage access permissions more efficiently. Through cloud-based access systems, administrators can implement policies that regularly audit credentials to ensure correct levels of access, review access logs to spot suspicious activity, and streamline their access management in real time.

Mistake #4: Choosing the Cheapest Commercial Security Solution

Problem:
Choosing the cheapest commercial security solution may help businesses stay within their budget, but it can be costly in the future. Poor performance, frequent service calls, extended downtime, and gaps in building security are just a few of the issues businesses face when investing in equipment that gives them short-term savings. By taking this approach, organizations put both their occupants and commercial assets at risk.

FlyLock's Solution:
We provide long-term and scalable security solutions for businesses that help organizations well into the future. While some solutions may not ensure up-front savings, businesses will save money in the long run, avoiding making costly upgrades and replacements in the future, as choosing high-quality equipment like CCTV systems helps accommodate future growth. Organizations must view this approach as a worthy investment, as it can help them reduce risk within their building.

Mistake #5: Using Too Many Different Brands for Security Systems

Problem:
While it’s important to implement a variety of business security systems, using too many variations of brands can lead to issues. By choosing equipment from different manufacturers, businesses may be investing in systems that don’t communicate with each other, leading to additional costs. Without a unified dashboard or reporting, business owners must manage multiple platforms at once, which can complicate the process of monitoring their property.

Solution:
We use brands that are compatible with each other, as many manufacturers build systems that are specifically designed to integrate with other equipment. Whether it’s access control systems and smart locks, or video intercom systems and surveillance systems, it’s important to build a unified security management system that features technology that works together not against each other.
