Security Priorities for London Offices
Tailgating & Unauthorised Access
Tailgating, where an unauthorised person follows a staff member through a secured door, is one of the most common risks in London offices. Access control with door-entry intercoms and staff awareness is the most effective countermeasure.
Server Room & Data Security
Server rooms and IT infrastructure require restricted access, limited to IT and facilities staff only. We install dedicated access control readers for high-security zones alongside CCTV to maintain a full audit trail of every entry event.
Visitor & Contractor Management
Video door entry systems allow reception to verify visitors before granting remote access. Temporary credentials via Paxton can be issued for contractors and automatically expired, replacing manual sign-in books with a secure, auditable process.
Out-of-Hours Protection
A professionally monitored intruder alarm provides 24/7 protection when the office is unoccupied. Integration with access control enables automatic arm/disarm based on the last person leaving, eliminating accidental false alarms from staff forgetting to set the alarm.

Office Security FAQs
What security systems does a London office need?
A typical London office setup includes: access control to manage entry to the building and specific zones; CCTV for lobby, car park, server room, and high-risk areas; and a monitored intruder alarm for out-of-hours protection. We assess the right combination during a free site survey.
Can access control give different staff different permission levels?
Yes. Paxton Net2 and Paxton10 allow granular permission levels, reception staff access the front of house, IT staff access the server room, directors access everything. Permissions update instantly when staff join, leave, or change roles.
How can we manage visitor access securely?
Video door entry intercoms let reception verify visitors before granting remote access. Temporary Paxton credentials can be issued for contractors and expired automatically, creating a secure, auditable visitor management process without manual sign-in books.
Can CCTV and access control be integrated?
Yes. Integrating the two means every door-entry event is matched with camera footage, showing who accessed each area and when. Essential for server rooms, cash-handling areas, and any restricted zone.
Do you install data cabling and WiFi for offices too?
Yes. We install structured data cabling, comms room build-outs, and managed wireless networks alongside security systems, so your entire IT and security infrastructure can be delivered by one team during a fit-out or refurbishment.
