This can take several forms: Distribute as few keys as possible to employees and keep track of who has keys. Distribute even fewer keys to areas containing especially sensitive information or expensive equipment. Consider installing an access control system to more effectively limit access to certain areas of the building. For example, consider requiring that employees swipe a personalized key card in order to unlock a certain door. Make sure all keys are returned whenever employees leave the company. If you lose track of keys, invest in changing your locks. Do a building check before and after work. It might sound basic, but cssing your building before and after work is a great way to develop a sense of what’s normal — and what’s not — and alert you to any potential issues as soon as possible (as an added bonus, this will also help you stay on top of facility repairs and maintenance). In addition to taking charge of this yourself, be sure to encourage your employees to report anything that seems suspicious or out of place. Upgrade your doors, windows, and locks
