Opening and closing rounds: security during critical moments
Safely opening and closing your business is essential to smooth daily operations. Opening and closing rounds provide a reliable solution to protect your organization during these key transition times.
What are opening and closing rounds?
Opening round: One of our certified guards inspects the site before it opens to employees, customers or visitors. All safety procedures are followed to ensure the building is free of suspicious activity, signs of break-in or technical issues.
Closing round: Performed after business hours, when the premises are secured for the night. Our staff check doors, windows and alarm systems, ensuring all access points are properly secured. This prevents unauthorized access, theft and vandalism.
