Northern Districts Security – Northland’s Trusted Business Security Specialists
Workplace security is a critical part of running a successful business. Whether you manage a retail store, office, warehouse, or commercial site, taking proactive steps to improve security protects your people, your property, and your reputation.
At Northern Districts Security, we’ve been providing reliable, professional commercial security services in Northland since 1989. From mobile patrols to alarm monitoring, we’re trusted by businesses across the region to deliver customised, cost-effective security solutions.
Here are five expert-backed tips to help you create a safer, more secure workplace – plus how Northern Districts Security can support your business every step of the way.
1. Control Who Has Access to Your Site
A secure workplace starts with controlling access. It’s important to know who is entering your premises at all times, and that only authorised personnel can access secure areas.
- Restrict access points, keep doors closed, and make use of ID cards, fob systems, or check-in processes.
How we can help:
Northern Districts Security offers security concierge services, and trained guards who can manage access to your site during business hours or after hours. Our team can provide front-desk security, ID verification, and general access control at commercial properties across Northland.
2. Install CCTV and Alarm Systems – and Monitor Them 24/7
CCTV and alarm systems are essential for modern business security – but to be effective, they must be monitored and maintained.
- Visible security cameras deter unwanted behaviour, while alarms alert you and your security team to incidents as they happen.
How we can help:
We provide 24/7 alarm monitoring services with rapid alarm response units that can be dispatched immediately in the event of a breach. Our team also supports CCTV monitoring and offers advice on where and how to install surveillance for maximum coverage.
If you already have cameras or alarms in place, we can help make sure they’re fully integrated with your broader security plan.
3. Secure Your Premises After Hours
Many security threats happen after dark, when businesses are unattended. Even if you have locks and alarms in place, criminals often target properties with minimal after-hours activity.
- Don’t leave your business vulnerable overnight, perform regular checks and visibility.
How we can help:
Our mobile patrol services are an effective way to protect your premises outside of working hours. Patrols are randomised to avoid predictability and can include perimeter checks, lockup services, and visual inspections. As a local Northland security company, our patrol units respond quickly and know the region well.
4. Maintain Strong Perimeter Security
Don’t just focus on the inside – break-ins start outside the building. Your perimeter should be well-lit, clearly marked, and secure from potential access points.
- Check fences, gates, lighting, and signage regularly. Ensure there are no blind spots or easy entry points.
How we can help:
Northern Districts Security conducts site risk assessments to identify vulnerabilities around your property. Our static guards and mobile patrols can monitor external areas like carparks, loading docks, and rear entrances. We can also recommend practical upgrades to improve your site’s physical security.
5. Partner with a Professional Local Security Company
When it comes to securing your business, experience matters. A professional security provider will tailor solutions to your specific risks, location, and industry – not just offer a one-size-fits-all service.
- Outsourcing your security to a local expert ensures faster response times, better support, and peace of mind.
