SECURING JAY HOTEL 5
Access Control and Identification Badges: open door policy will make customers and
guests enjoy the comfort. The use of a combination of Identification cards and monitored
access will ensure that only people who have authorized special access sections of the
building for example administration offices. This will minimize interruption as well as theft
amongst members of staff.
Managed Services: A remote security plan is mandatory as it will serve as a back-up to
the existing human resources.
Cyber Security: This is one of the critical issues that will be addressed to ensure that the
security systems put in place are safe all the time and that they are functional and reliable.
Software known as Atlas will be installed to automatically scan the networks on a daily
basis for any issues and fix them accordingly (Jen‐Hwa Hu, 2005).
Lighting Control: automatic lighting system will be put in place to automatically light
dark spots in the hotel and avoid unnecessary discomfort on the guest’s side. Reduced
harassment of guests and staff is paramount to the future of the hotel, and hence lighting
should be supplied to various spots to mitigate possible fraudulent claims.
Finally, comprehensive training of all the staff members is a critical ingredient to secure the hotel
(Chan, 2013). Excellent security measures in place without a trained workforce is almost useless
since security systems cannot replace the human beings entirely but instead aid in all their actions.
Regular security meetings will be held to inform the members of the security team the various
current events and emerging issues as well as inform them of the technological changes that may
have been incorporated into the system. The team is supposed to be well equipped with the
necessary skills to respond to all forms of emergency and recognize any strange occurrence that
cannot be detected by the programmed technological systems.
