RISK MANAGEMENT SECURITY SERVICES

Since our inception we have worked within the Pharmaceutical sector protecting some of the largest organisations with this field. This has given us a in depth understanding of how to deliver an effective manned guarding solution for pharmaceutical companies who require a tailored approach due to the sensitive and high-value nature of products, regulatory compliance needs, and potential security risks.

These companies often deal with critical inventory, intellectual property, and confidential information that must be protected from theft, tampering, and other security threats. The security strategy, that will incorporate our services, must be comprehensive and include specialised measures to address these risks.

Our knowledge and experience in this sector enable us to develop high functioning security personnel led by a dedicated Senior Management team. Below are our key considerations for manned guarding services in a pharmaceutical setting

• Security officers should be trained in the unique needs of the pharmaceutical industry.
• Security staff must be knowledgeable about the specific security procedures for pharmaceuticals, this would include managing the controlled substances, sensitive inventory, and any hazardous materials
• Guards should be trained to respond to emergencies (fire, theft, workplace injuries, etc.) and understand the procedures related to handling controlled or hazardous substances.
• Manned guarding services should ensure strict access control to sensitive areas limiting access only to authorised personnel.
• Advanced access control systems such as biometric scanners, smart cards, or RFID badges to verify the identity of employees and visitors should be integrated into the security operation
• Security staff should carefully monitor visitor access, ensuring they sign in, are escorted within the premises, and are logged into the visitor management system for traceability.
• Security officers are responsible for ensuring that the valuable inventory within the warehouse or manufacturing facility is protected from theft, pilferage, and damage.
• Security personnel should be vigilant about ensuring that temperature-sensitive drugs are stored and transported properly, alerting management to any deviations.
• A comprehensive CCTV system should be available to support an effective manned guarding service.
• Guards should conduct regular patrols, both inside and outside the premises using a patrol monitoring system to verify their attendance at specific locations across the facility
