Physical security is a crucial component of a strong, protected business. Here at Security Solutions, with over 10 years of experience across the security field, we know that security doesn’t just matter – it’s essential. Prioritising safety is the first step towards a thriving and sustainable business. High-performing physical security systems, especially turnstiles, can ward against a range of growing threats in today’s field of sectors.
As threats to business safety continue to rise, our security systems evolve to meet the challenge. Security breaches become more prevalent each day, it’s essential that your business is equipped to meet building access control policies and insurance requirements. By strengthening your perimeter and entrance security you can:
- Prevent unauthorised access.
- Ensure safety.
- Protect assets.
- Deter criminal activity.
To implement these objectives, organisations around the UK are turning to turnstile security systems. After all, reliability starts at the door! At Security Solutions, our products are familiar sites in stadiums, factories and distribution sites nationwide. We design and provide robust turnstile entry systems that enhance your operational needs whilst also providing turnstile maintenance packages.
Turn reliability into your first line of defence.
For the vast majority of businesses, ensuring a reliable first line of defence is key to maintaining workplace safety. It is a business’s initial layer of protection when it comes to security and compliance. These systems are put in place to prevent, detect and control risks before they happen.
They achieve this in the following ways:
- Access control – Helps you protect your property and sensitive data against intruders.
- Monitoring – They are your eyes and ears working against a wide range of threats, including theft and unauthorised access.
- Enforcing operational procedures – Enhances reputation, builds customer trust and contributes to operational efficiency.
With your operation now running smoothly, safety and security can be achieved far more easily: A physical barrier is established protecting your people, property and even contributing to your cybersecurity. Physical security acts as the first point of engagement by limiting who can access areas where data is stored.
A firewall is a great security tool to protect your business’ data but without a physical barrier, your information can never ben fully secure. Entry turnstiles prevent security breaches before they happen. They stop threats at the door and introduce a proactive rather than reactive barrier.
How do Turnstiles improve security?
Turnstiles are more than just gates – they are precise entry points that help control who gets in and out of a building or venue. And constant staff monitoring isn’t required to allow access to those with the appropriate clearance. These entry systems, paired with access control features deliver the three Ps:
- Protect – Property, data and daily operations are protected by restricting unauthorised access.
- Provide – A smooth and controlled flow of people is provided.
- Prevent – Tailgating and other unlawful movement is prevented.
Better yet, entry technology is continuously evolving, offering even smarter ways to manage access. New or existing security measures can easily be combined with access control systems to provide simple security solutions. The access control options which can be paired with our turnstiles are:
- Card access systems – Allows staff and authorised visitors access to various areas.
- Audio intercom systems – Allows businesses to hear visitors before granting access.
- Keypad systems – Anti-vandal, digital steel keypads allow pin code access.
- Biometrics – Adds an extra layer of security with biological traits.
Intelligent entry through Turnstiles
The placement of turnstiles is crucial to a business’ security. It creates a pause in a busy world to identify and control access on site. The automated process reduces the need for constant manned security, cutting costs while keeping businesses secure.
As mentioned earlier, modern turnstile systems don’t always operate alone – they integrate seamlessly with security devices such as CCTV and ID badge systems. This allows your business to create a layered approach when building your security.
Entry systems send a clear message. The physical presence of turnstiles acts as a deterrent to intruders – all the while, integrating smart access tools to creates a winning combination. At Security Solutions we offer smart access tools that work smoothly with our turnstiles to reduce the need for constant staff supervision.
