What Wayne Alarm Systems can do for you.
Wayne Alarm Systems is offering a Complimentary Compliance Review.
This review, conducted by a Wayne Alarm Systems Security Consultant is
a free, no obligation analysis of the monitored physical security
measures in place at your business and how they compare to the
standards set forth by the new regulation’s Compliance Checklist.
In the event that your current monitored physical security measures do
not meet or exceed the compliance standards set forth by the
regulation, your Security Consultant will suggest products and
services that will help get your business in compliance with 201 CMR
17.00.
In addition, Wayne Alarm Systems is offering to extend discounts on any
of the products and services we offer that our Security Consultant
determines are necessary.
These discounts are available for new or existing Wayne Alarm
Systems clients – with potential savings of over $500 .00 in the first
year!
Don't Take the Risk!
Failure to comply with 201 CMR 17.00 could expose you to as much as $50,000.00 in fines and civil penalties in the event of the theft or improper storage and disposal of Personal Information as defined by the new regulations. Section 4 of the regulation allows a court to impose a $3,500 civil penalty for each violation. In other words, each personal record lost or stolen may result in the $3,500.00 judgment. How many personal records are on your laptop? How much could you be fined under these new regulations?
System and Service Examples
Burglar / Intrusion Alarms
- Being
the victim of a burglary is never a pleasant experience. A small
time thief who steals your laptop from your business may not know or
care about the private client data stored on the computer – however, you are exposed to potentially devastating financial losses as a result.
You've encrypted all your data and have the best internal software
firewall available – but, as the new regulations are written - the
theft of these records still exposes you to possible civil damages and
additional fines and penalties.
The best solution is to stop thieves in their tracks – before they enter your premise.
Wayne Alarm Systems offers proven methods and technology that are
designed to do just that. From state of the art sirens and strobe
lighting designed to disorient a potential intruder should they enter
your premise to placards and decals letting potential intruders known
your business is being monitored, Wayne Alarm has the solution.
- Our years of professional service and features such as Enhanced Call Verification (ECV)
let you know that in the event of a Burglary or Intrusion, authorities
will be informed within seconds proviing you with a coordinated
response to the alarm event.
|
Access Control Safe Rooms
- A
simple padlock or other mechanism is not going to stop a determined
thief. Your Security Consultant can explain how having all your
physical records (paper) stored and accessed via a Monitored Access
Controlled Safe Room can meet the standards set by the new regulations.
- Smart' services offer a complete log of all events and entries including failed attempts.
- Levels
of access can be changed and monitored based on time of day - offering
solutions that do not interfere with your day-to-day business.
