Smart security systems that protect residential communities are features that should be accessible to residents of all income brackets, according to Sandy Jack, ASSA ABLOY’s VP of strategic relations.

Jack made the comments during her recent spot on Beyond the Cable with Brad Randall, a Broadband Communities podcast.

“I think that the people that are most underserved, which would be the working force, workforce housing, student housing, those are the folks that really need it more,” she said.

Nowadays, peace of mind like that offered by Vingcard/ASSA ABLOY, is essential to ensure happy and safe living environments in hotels and multifamily properties, Jack says.

“When you think about the night nurse that comes home at 3 in the morning, can we make sure that she is safe and secure?” Jack asked. “The police officer that has to go out to our neighborhoods but leave their family alone, how are they safe and secure?”

She continued, saying safety and security it a paramount objective in her role with Assa Abloy.

“It’s not just for the people that can afford it, it should be for everyone,” she added.

Also, securing multifamily properties with state-of-the-art systems just makes sound financial sense for owners and operators, Jack emphasized.

“The biggest line item for multifamily right now is their insurance costs,” she said. “And when it comes to insurance, security is a big portion of that.”

Additionally, Jack touched on some important lessons that can be gleamed from experiences in the hospitality industry.

“Making sure that our residents, our guests are secure, protects the property, the owners, and keeps their insurance costs low.”
