Security Solutions for New Year Resolutions: Starting 2026 Strong and Secure
At FIRST Security, our committed team are dedicated to helping you safeguard the things that matter, so you can reduce unnecessary and unforeseen costs in the future.
With New Zealanders across the country turning over a new leaf for the new year, here are our top areas of focus for getting your security back in shape for 2026!
1. Review and Refresh Your Security Plan
When it comes to safeguarding your properties and businesses, a solid, up-to-date security plan is the foundation for everything else. We can help with that! FIRST Security offers comprehensive checks to assess where your blind spots are and how to best update your security.
2. Strengthen Access Control
With communities feeling increasingly vulnerable in the wake of rising crime, knowing exactly who is coming in and out is a key security measure. Small lapses here lead to big risks. The new year is the perfect time to update your access cards, visitor procedures, and after-hours protocols. Our static guards, concierge, and customer service focused officers provide a warm, personable presence that keeps your environment comfortable and safe.
3. Invest in the Right Technology – VirtualGuard cameras and monitoring
When it comes to catching potential threats early, our number one recommendation is VirtualGuard! This hi-tech camera system provides 24/7 monitoring from our local control centre, allowing for a rapid response to minimise threat or damage. Investing in the right technology can enable you to rest easy, knowing your property and assets are secure. Learn more about VirtualGuard here.
4. Team Safety – WelfareFirst
For FIRST Security, keeping people safe is always the number one priority. WelfareFirst is the perfect option if your business is looking to level up its team safety. Providing automated welfare checks, panic and silent alerts, along with GPS tracking – this smart technology is backed up by our 24/7 welfare monitoring team. Employees who work solo, at night or in isolated locations, are often exposed to additional health and safety risks, unable to easily get help in the case of an emergency. WelfareFirst is a safety net that can provide your team with peace of mind. You can read more about our WelfareFirst service here.
5. Partner with a Trusted Security Provider
Whether it's patrols, guarding, security advice, event support or surge staffing, having a reliable partner ensures consistent, professional coverage when you need it most. FIRST Security is committed to building a safer future for everyone. With people at the heart of our service, we are guided by our values of care, integrity, accountability, and innovation – ensuring that we can provide reliable, highest quality services that you can count on.
