Security is not a one-and-done investment. Like any part of your business infrastructure, your system needs regular attention to stay effective. For current ACRT customers across the Minneapolis metro, this means knowing when to review, update, or expand existing solutions so they continue to perform at their best.
Why Security Needs Regular Review
Businesses change. Teams grow, facilities expand, and hours of operation shift. At the same time, risks evolve. Organized theft, turnover, and cyber-physical threats are now common concerns across industries in Minnesota. A system that was right for your business two years ago may not fully cover today’s needs.
Regular security reviews identify gaps before they become costly problems. A camera angle that once covered the stockroom may now miss a new shelving area. Access permissions granted to former employees may still be active. Without a periodic check, these small oversights can undermine the entire system.
Key Areas to Keep in Focus
ACRT encourages every customer to revisit a few core areas each year:
- Video Surveillance: Confirm that cameras cover critical areas and that footage is being stored reliably. Older equipment may no longer deliver the clarity you need for verification.
- Access Control: Staff turnover is a constant in every industry. Make sure old credentials are revoked and new ones are added properly. This is also the time to adjust schedules or permissions as roles change.
- Intrusion Detection: Verify that doors, delivery bays, and after-hours points of entry are properly secured. Test sensors and alarms regularly to avoid failures when you need them most.
- Structured Cabling: Every device depends on the backbone of your network. Outdated cabling or patchwork connections can cause downtime, missed alerts, or unreliable video.
These checks do not have to be disruptive. With ACRT’s local support, reviews and updates are done efficiently, minimizing interruptions to daily operations.
If you haven’t had your system reviewed in the past year, now is the time. Call (612) 512-0428 or contact us here to schedule a quick security checkup with our team.
How ACRT Supports Ongoing Performance
As a local partner based in Hopkins, ACRT goes beyond installation. Our role is to ensure that your system continues to perform as your business evolves. Customers across the Minneapolis metro rely on us for:
- System Takeovers: If you inherited a system from another provider, we optimize it for reliability and make it easier to manage.
- Technology Upgrades: From smarter cameras to more flexible access control, we help you adopt improvements without replacing everything.
- Responsive Service: Unlike national providers, we answer calls quickly and keep support close at hand.
- Tailored Growth: Whether you’re adding locations or reconfiguring a facility, we scale your system with you.
This ongoing approach ensures you get the most value out of the investment you’ve already made.
Why Proactive Beats Reactive
The best time to fix a security gap is before it causes a problem. Proactive reviews not only reduce the risk of theft or downtime, they also save money compared to responding after an incident. Insurance claims, lost inventory, and downtime all cost far more than a scheduled review or upgrade.
Your staff also benefits from proactive attention. When systems work seamlessly, employees feel safer, managers spend less time troubleshooting, and customers notice the difference in how smoothly your business operates.
Partnering with ACRT for the Long Run
Security technology will continue to evolve, but one thing stays the same: your systems need to be reliable. At ACRT, we see our role as a long-term partner. That means advising you on what needs immediate attention, what can wait, and what changes will deliver the greatest impact for your business.
Whether it’s adjusting permissions for a growing team, upgrading cameras for better coverage, or strengthening cabling to support new devices, we make sure your system keeps pace with your business.
