5 Silent Security Risks Your Business Is Ignoring

You’ve locked the doors. Got the cameras. Maybe even installed an alarm.

But most security issues don’t start with someone breaking a window.

They start with stuff you think is handled.

Here are 5 quiet risks that slip by unnoticed—but could seriously mess with your business:

1. Old Keys Still Work

Former employees. Old contractors. That cleaning crew you stopped using last year.

If you’ve handed out physical keys and never rekeyed, they might still have access.

And here’s the kicker—traditional keys don’t tell you who used them, or when.

The fix: Go digital. With Nexkey, you can revoke access instantly and see exactly who’s coming and going.

2. You’re Sharing Keypad Codes

“Just use the backdoor code—it’s 1984.”

Yeah, we’ve all done it.

But codes get passed around. People leave. No one updates them. Suddenly, way too many people have access and you’ve lost control.

The fix: Assign access to people, not codes. When someone’s done, their access ends too.

3. You Have No Idea Who Unlocked the Door

Someone opened the door... but who?

If you’re using regular keys or shared codes, you’ve got zero visibility. If something goes wrong, you’re flying blind.

The fix: Use smart access logs. Nexkey shows exactly who unlocked what, and when.

4. You’re Not Revoking Access Fast Enough

An employee quits or gets let go. Do you get the key back immediately?

Even if you do—what if they made a copy?

The fix: Don’t chase keys. Just remove their access with a tap.

5. You’re Assuming “Nothing Bad Will Happen”

Most security slip-ups aren’t malicious. They’re just ignored.

It’s easy to assume things are fine—until they’re not. But “nothing’s happened yet” isn’t a plan.

The fix: Get ahead of the quiet risks before they become real problems.

Don’t Let the Quiet Ones Catch You Off Guard

You don’t need to overhaul your building or micromanage everyone who walks in.

You just need a smarter way to control who gets access—and who doesn’t.

That’s what Nexkey does.

Let’s make your place secure, simple, and stress-free.
