Hotel Security Management
As a variety of security challenges exist in hotels today, hospitality experts must implement effective hotel security management. Unpredictability in a dynamic environment such as hotels is at the heart of those challenges.
The hotel industry globally has been associated with crime related challenges since the days of small inns. This is attributed to the 24-hour operations and the intimate nature of the service itself. There must be a balance between the level of security and customer service.
Hotel Security Management (HSM) System
Identity Protection
Shielding customer’s private information is paramount for hotel groups. Leaks can be detrimental to a hotel’s reputation. Private records whether physical or digital need to have protection in place. Shredding documents can eliminate any unwanted “eyes” recovering sensitive documents discarded. Above all, the goal is to reduce access to physical documents.
Reduced access to physical documents i.e. IDs, passports, payment cards etc. using secured storage.
Access and Key Management
Manual operations i.e. metal lock and key are used to secure each separate guest room. Today, electronic key management is becoming much more prevalent. Efficiency & security is increased through digital reports as you can monitor who, when and where someone accesses each area.
Perimeter Security
Each hotel site is unique when it comes to location, landscaping, layout and quality. All these factors play a role in perimeter security. The site perimeter should be protected from unauthorized access or unwanted loitering. This is a delicate balance as too much security can detract from the appearance and not enough could cause breaches in security. This can include security guards, patrolling techniques, fencing or other barriers etc.
Incident & Emergency Response
If an incident or emergency occurs it is up to the hotel personnel to manage all occurrences. A plan must be established so all personnel are identified for their roles & responsibilities. Personnel need to identify incidents, report pertinent information, isolate threats, and initiate recovery response.
Night Security
Night operations usually see an increase in illicit activity. Security personnel must monitor operations closely via CCTV, conduct patrols and respond to any suspicious activity etc. Appropriate equipment and lighting should be setup in key areas.
Guest Property Protection
Guests may have property across multiple locations i.e. belongings in their room, vehicles, or additional storage. Hotels must properly implement the previously mentioned components to ensure necessary protection. Additionally, they can add other equipment such as safes in the rooms. Monitoring of rooms with access control & CCTV of rooms should be adequate enough to identify anyone who access the rooms. so
Personnel Training
A comprehensive training program is essential to the implementation of an HSM system. Initial training should take place for all personnel to clearly identify roles & responsibilities. Security awareness campaigns should be implemented so non-security personnel are encouraged to enforce policies.
