Access All Areas…Or Not!

Let’s talk Access Control, an important but often overlooked component of business security. By definition, Access Control restricts and regulates access or entry to a place or resource. Essentially, it involves a strategic business decision to select who can access that place or resource, with the access control solution being provided to meet those security needs. Clearly there are many benefits of restricting access, including: Greater scope to protect beyond doors/gates An access control system has far more possibilities than protecting just doors…think secure

Tips for a COVID-safe Return to the Office

With the Easter break over and school holidays coming to an end, more and more Victorians will start returning to the office in coming weeks. This follows the Victorian State Government’s removal of the 75% cap on office workers from 26 March. This return to the office will undoubtedly bring a mix of feelings for employees, as they pack up their home working station and consider what working in an office in 2021 will look like.

Thinking About CCTV For Your Business?

As Australia emerges from a year unlike any other, many decision-makers and business owners are reassessing their “new normal” to ensure optimal stability and success for the future. Security is a given in any such consideration, and the right CCTV solution is an imperative component to a good plan. CCTV security systems used to be out of the reach of most smaller businesses.

Are Security Concierge Services the Post-Covid “Must-Have” for Businesses?

Having just experienced one of the most challenging, rapidly-evolving and risky periods of a generation, business owners are starting to look to the future, as they attempt to define how their organisation can viably exist amidst uncertain times.

Welcome Back Retail!

We are very pleased that our friends in the retail industry can now open their doors, even if their day to day operations look very different to what they once knew. With the announcement from the Premier of Victoria earlier this week, retailers of various sizes and structures quickly began implementing (or in some cases, creating) the plan for how their business would approach the numerous guidelines, to ensure both compliance and effective, safe and efficient business operations. Staying up to date

Creating a Safe Workplace During Stage 4 Lockdown

At Excell Security, many of our previous articles have focused on the fact that employees have a right to feel safe when they are at work, as do customers when they visit the premises of any organisation. Being in the business of security – and living our “protecting what matters” slogan in our work – means we genuinely feel that every person should be able to attend their workplace knowing that they will come home safe and healthy – both physically

Can I Hire Security Services During Stage 4 Restrictions?

We are in uncharted territory here in Victoria right now. Businesses across metropolitan Melbourne and regional areas are either closed or operating in a way they never thought possible 12 months ago. Offices sit empty, cafes are limited to takeaway, factories are closed or operating with reduced capacity, and with an 8pm curfew, the streets of Melbourne are quiet and there is a hush over the city’s typically vibrant nightlife. For the security industry, we are experiencing change just like everybody

What the “Four Square Metre Rule” Means For Your Business

Many businesses in Victoria have quickly become aware of the “four square metre rule” currently in place as part of the Covid-19 restrictions. As outlined by the Department of Health and Human Services, the four square metre rule applies to most venues and facilities with indoor and outdoor spaces that are accessible to the public including shopping centres, indoor and outdoor markets. For business operators, it is useful to note that the four square metre rule applies to limit the number of
