HIGH-SECURITY STORAGE Archive - Helveticor

The price is right if the added value is.

When is high security storage worthwhile in the long term?

Security has its price, that’s a fact in warehouse logistics. But to assess the costs of high-security storage, you need to take a closer look. It is advisable to pay attention to what is offered over and above the price. It is best to create transparency first.

A reputable provider of a high-security storage facility will present you with a comprehensible cost structure. You can use a comparison matrix to compare security standards, services and prices. It quickly becomes clear that simple storage solutions appear very inexpensive at first glance. However, they usually lack the protective measures and processes that are crucial for the optimal security of your valuables. Choosing a high-security warehouse means investing in tested processes, secure security systems and professional risk management.

Put a tick next to these cost-benefit considerations:

Price: The price structure is transparent and comprehensible.
Performance. The safety measures taken justify the storage price.
Transparency: The provider makes different storage options comparable.
Scope: The estimated costs already cover essential protective measures and insurance.

6 points that you should clarify as part of a cost-benefit check

How does your high-security warehouse ensure efficiency and reliability?

In a cost-benefit analysis, reliability and efficiency go hand in hand. The more you can rely on your business partners, the fewer frictional losses – i.e. unnecessary costs – are incurred. Helveticor has established clear and lean processes that are supported by technology throughout. This allows the highly qualified teams to process your orders accurately and be there for your wishes and concerns. You stay informed about the status and progress of your orders at all times. This saves everyone involved time, money and nerves – resources that can be used elsewhere to add value.

How advantageous is the cost-benefit ratio of your high-security storage system?

As a client, you are right to ask yourself whether the expense of high-security storage is worthwhile at all. To get a clear answer to this question, you need to examine a few parameters. The table below shows why your investment in a first-class high-security storage facility is worthwhile and how it differs from a self-storage solution.

Criterion	First-class high-security storage	Self-storage solution
Cost	Competitive prices for high-quality security	Cheaper prices, but lower safety standards
Security Measures	Comprehensive monitoring and alarm systems, 24/7 video surveillance, strict access controls	Basic security measures, limited surveillance
Access Controls	Multi-factor authentication, logged access	Simple access system without logging
Construction Standards	Robust construction, state-of-the-art building materials, state-of-the-art fire protection systems	Standard construction, basic fire protection
Insurance Coverage	Comprehensive insurance coverage	Limited insurance coverage
Staff	Well-trained and constantly present staff	Few employees, not always present
Emergency Management	Detailed emergency plans, regular safety training	Basic emergency precautions
Flexibility and Service	Tailor-made solutions, individual advice	Standardized solutions, little flexibility
Long-term cost efficiency	Protection against loss and damage, long-term preservation of the value of goods	Higher risk of loss and damage, possible additional costs
Additional Services	Wide range of additional services (e.g. transport, inventory management)	Limited or no additional services

How easy is it to reach the contact persons at your high-security warehouse?

Accessibility is central to the added value of a high-security warehouse. After all, you don’t want to be put off until the day after tomorrow with your concerns or end up in an endless telephone loop. However, availability inevitably entails costs, as it requires the presence of competent contact persons.

In this respect, we at Helveticor make no compromises. Our employees in customer service and on site at our warehouse locations are available by phone or e-mail beyond normal opening hours, friendly, punctual and, above all, solution-oriented. Because we understand the term customer service literally: as a service to the customer.

How high are the security standards of your high-security warehouse?

Security is an elastic term. But for a high-security warehouse to live up to its name, its security standards must be as high as possible. This requirement goes far beyond burglar-proof safes, modern locking systems and alarm systems – and has its price.
To ensure that our high-security warehouse earns the trust of our customers, we see only one level of security standards as viable: maximum. That’s why our physical security measures are interlinked with our processes, controls, technologies and transparency.

What risks are covered by the insurance for your high-security storage facility?

Insurance cover for your high-security storage facility is one of the most important aspects that you should check in terms of costs. As a rule, good insurance is expensive. Above all, however, you need to be sure that your valuables are covered transparently and completely, for example in the event of damage due to transportation, storage, theft, burglary, natural hazards, vandalism or misappropriation by employees.

You should not cut corners when it comes to insurance cover. Demand the best cover offered by an all-risk insurance policy and absolute clarity about what is insured and what is not. Also make sure that the scope of cover is backed by a reputable international reinsurance company.

What sustainability criteria does your high-security warehouse take into account?

If environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria are important to you, then they should also be important to the provider of your high-security storage facility. At Helveticor, we understand ESG to mean not only environmentally friendly business practices, but also social responsibility towards employees, business partners and fellow human beings, as well as transparent and openly communicated corporate governance. To this end, we keep people and the environment in balance wherever possible.

Cost-benefit check made easy

To help you find out more quickly whether the costs of your high-security storage are justified, we have developed a checklist as a guide. This will help you make a far-sighted decision: for maximum security and sustainable value retention of your assets.

Short and sweet

The difference between standard storage and a high-security solution often only becomes apparent in an emergency. But by then it is usually too late. Burglary, fire damage or internal risks can cause considerable financial losses. A well-thought-out security system with state-of-the-art technologies and capable employees offers far more than a simple storage location; it protects your assets in the long term. Those who take a strategic approach to security invest in preserving the value of their assets. So that short-term savings do not become expensive in the long term.

Storing gold safely: where durability meets trust

Philip Joss — Fri, 21 Feb 2025 09:10:58 +0000

Golden security - The true value lies in preservation

Gold is more than just a precious metal – it is a symbol of stability, an insurance policy against crises and a legacy that lasts for generations. However, true security does not begin with ownership, but with correct storage. Anyone who owns gold has a responsibility to protect it, preserve its value and keep it safe.

Our high-security solutions offer you more than just a safe – they are a fortress for your assets. Find out why well thought-out gold storage is essential, which factors play a role and how we guarantee you the highest level of protection.

Why secure gold storage is crucial

Gold storage is not only a logistical challenge, but above all a matter of trust. Whether you own gold bars or gold coins, you need a reliable solution that guarantees maximum protection. Secure storage minimizes risks such as theft, loss and environmental damage and preserves your investment in the long term.

Our high-security infrastructure is certified to TAPA FSR Level A certified. The high-security vaults installed in it are equipped with the latest technology and offer you the certainty that your gold is stored securely – in a neutral and professional environment.

What efficiency and reliability can you expect?

Before you decide on a high-security warehouse, you should take a close look at its efficiency and reliability. Lean and clearly regulated processes, motivated employees and continuous training are essential. It is also important that your service provider regularly and confidentially reconciles your assets and ensures that all processes are structured and run as smoothly as possible.

Our optimized processes and specialist staff ensure that every storage and retrieval operation is handled efficiently and reliably – for maximum security and transparency.

Many years of expertise in gold storage

Storing precious metals requires special expertise – and that’s exactly what we bring to the table.

With years of experience, we understand the different requirements of gold storage. Whether 400-ounce standard bars, smaller gold bars or coins such as the Krugerrand or Goldvreneli – we know the requirements and offer tailor-made solutions.

From the field: "Not all gold is the same"

Standard gold bars are stored on pallets, while smaller gold bars and coins require special shelves and boxes. Our storage solutions ensure the safe and orderly storage of any form of gold.

We work according to the eight-eyes principle for every storage and retrieval operation to ensure maximum security. Our advanced storage system meets the highest security requirements and offers you maximum security for your precious metal assets.

Transparent cost-benefit calculation for your high-security warehouse

As someone who deals with values on a daily basis, you know that the security of your assets comes at a price. Nevertheless, you should not bear any costs without having checked the cost-benefit ratio. Our approach combines the highest security standards with transparent pricing. We provide clear comparison matrices and detailed performance overviews to give you a sound basis for decision-making.

Storage locations in safe jurisdictions

Switzerland and Liechtenstein are known for their political stability and neutrality.

These factors provide an additional layer of security for gold storage, especially in geopolitically uncertain times. The long tradition in the financial sector and worldwide recognition as reliable locations make these countries ideal for the safe storage of gold.

In addition, we offer international gold storage in major financial centers. Geographical diversification of storage locations reduces potential risks associated with regional events. Our international security and transportation services ensure the safe and reliable transportation of your gold holdings.

From the field: "Geographical diversification"

Customers who wish to spread their gold holdings across several locations can benefit from our international financial centre solutions and minimize their risks.

Does the insurance cover the most important risks?

Our insurance offers all-risk coverwhich guarantees maximum protection.

From theft to natural disasters to unforeseen events, our insurance ensures that your gold is protected in any situation. What’s more, our insurance policy is backed by Lloyd’s Market in London, giving you first-class protection.

Because ESG is part of the ABC

Philipp Sauber — Sun, 02 Feb 2025 19:44:41 +0000

What role does ESG play in high-security storage

In the debate about the sustainability of services and products, transportation and warehouse logistics companies are at the top of the list of those affected. Their challenge is to combine ecological responsibility with operational efficiency. People and the environment should play an equal role in this.

The demand for sustainability has penetrated far into the world of finance and investment advice. So it’s understandable that you demand ESG compliance when choosing a high-security storage service provider. That’s why we at Helveticor not only subject our choice of transportation solutions and fuels to strict sustainability standards, but also the way we treat our employees.

High security storage checklist

Maximum security for your assets starts with the right choice of storage. Our checklist shows you what really matters, from cost-benefit to ESG.

Check off these requirements for sustainable high-security logistics:

5 criteria that give you information about the sustainability of your high-security service provider

1. what is your high-security logistics provider doing to combat the climate crisis?

The Swiss Climate certification ensures exemplary compliance with strict environmental standards and a continuous commitment to reducing CO₂ emissions. This includes an extensive analysis of emission sources and provides for the development and implementation of targeted measures to increase energy efficiency. Helveticor bears the “certified CO2 optimized by Swiss Climate” label. It underlines our contribution to tackling the global climate crisis by actively promoting sustainable and environmentally friendly security logistics.

From the field: "Seeing the forest despite all the trees"

Our environmentally friendly initiatives include participating in reforestation projects that help to offset unavoidable CO₂ emissions. In 2023, we implemented measures such as switching to LED lighting and implementing an energy-efficient heating system to further reduce our CO₂ emissions. We subject these efforts to ongoing monitoring and annual recertifications.

2. what precautions does your provider take for high-security fuel logistics?

Certain fuels enable a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. This also applies to HVO100 diesel. The abbreviation HVO stands for Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil. This sustainable fuel is produced from renewable raw materials such as vegetable oils, waste and residual materials as well as animal fats and is virtually free of sulphur and other pollutants. Compared to conventional diesel, HVO100 is more environmentally friendly and actively contributes to reducing environmental pollution. At Helveticor, we switched our vehicle fleet completely to HVO100 diesel at the beginning of 2023. This switch has reduced the CO₂ emissions of our delivery vehicles by 30%.

3. how sustainable is your provider's route planning for high-security logistics?

Two factors are decisive for the sustainability of a transport company: route and delivery volume.

The further the distance, the greater the fuel consumption.
The more empty runs, the more environmentally damaging each kilometer traveled.

Both factors can be optimized through intelligent route planning. At Helveticor, we take this causality into account with efficient route planning that allocates time and resources according to the highest efficiency standards.

From the field: "Preferably straight to the destination"

In our sustainable route planning, especially for urban delivery routes, experienced dispatchers combine several orders for several delivery addresses and plan the route in a resource-optimized way. To do this, we use the many years of experience and local knowledge of our transport professionals and refine them with ultra-modern and artificially intelligent route optimization applications. The result is maximum energy efficiency, which benefits people in urbanized regions and the environment itself.

4 How sustainable are the means of transportation that your provider uses for high-security logistics?

At first glance, sustainability and transportation seem to contradict each other. For example, it is not easy to choose sustainable means of transportation in international air freight transport. Nevertheless, there are also environmentally friendly alternatives in the transport and warehouse logistics sector.
Rail transport, for example, is particularly environmentally friendly, as it produces significantly lower CO₂ emissions than road or air transport and is also highly energy efficient. Or consider HVO100-powered vehicles or electrically powered means of transportation.
When choosing a provider of high-security services, take a close look at their modal split and the mix of their means of transportation.

5 What is your high-security logistics provider doing for a better future?

Sustainability has become a corporate aspiration and is deeply embedded in the DNA of many companies. ESG practices that affect all areas of the company are also a good idea in transport and warehouse logistics – from dealing with employees and the local sourcing of materials or transport pallets to the modal split and the use of drive technologies through to the selection of partners and suppliers.
Thanks to our long-standing cooperation with local suppliers who operate in an environmentally friendly manner and thus contribute to a sustainable supply chain, we at Helveticor meet the current ESG standards and keep pace with their further development.

From the field: "Designed for generations by tradition"

We are a Swiss company and part of a family-owned Swiss group of companies, namely Planzer Transport AG. This is why we focus our economic orientation not only on the present, but above all on the future.

For example, every year we train around 380 young people in over ten professions. Across Switzerland as a whole, we have an apprenticeship quota of 6.5% of the Group-wide workload. Two thirds of these apprentices continue to work for us after passing their final apprenticeship examination. This is also what we mean by promoting young talent and sustainable corporate management.

Short and sweet

When it comes to the sustainability of high-security services, a top-down view is needed: of the way in which sustainability is interpreted strategically and implemented operationally, of the choice of fuels and means of transportation, of the attitude of the management and, last but not least, of the responsibility towards future generations.
When choosing your business partner, pay attention to the extent to which they combine innovative solutions with best practices and what approach they take to optimizing and using modern technologies. Such an assessment shows the extent to which a service provider contributes to climate protection. We at Helveticor have a clear opinion on this issue: sustainable action is also possible and can be implemented effectively in security transport and warehouse logistics.

Insurance cover: Better to act than react.

Philipp Sauber — Fri, 31 Jan 2025 10:36:09 +0000

Does the insurance cover the most important risks?

Insurance cover is particularly important in a high-security warehouse. After all, this involves specific risks and increased security requirements. Accordingly, you need a tailor-made insurance solution for your assets with disclosed conditions – and clarity about what is covered and what is not.

Appropriate insurance cover protects your valuables transparently and completely, especially in the event of damage caused by transportation, storage or events such as theft, burglary, fire, water, vandalism or misappropriation by employees. That’s why we go far beyond the mere calculation of premiums in this area.

High security storage checklist

Maximum security for your assets starts with the right choice of storage. Our checklist shows you what really matters, from cost-benefit to ESG.

Download now and make an informed decision.

Check off these requirements for comprehensive insurance cover:

Risk orientation: specific risks such as burglary, embezzlement by employees, fire/water damage, natural disasters, vandalism or terrorism are covered
Security: Increased requirements for buildings, systems, personnel and technologies taken into account in premiums
Conditions: Insured values, sums insured and deductibles clearly regulated by contract
Exclusions: Excluded causes of loss clearly and comprehensibly presented in the insurance certificate
Inventory: Detailed and regular stocktaking and complete documentation

5 aspects that your insurance cover should cover

1. how detailed does your insurance cover the risks during transportation and in the high-security warehouse?

Most providers of high security services rarely talk about how they insure their customers’ valuables during transportation or storage. In many cases, they do not communicate, or do not communicate sufficiently, how they reduce risks and what measures they take to prevent damage or loss. At Helveticor, the bar for comprehensive insurance cover is set much higher. We take a targeted approach to your specific risk scenario and provide you with a solution that minimizes your individual risks from the outset. We also provide precise information on the scope of cover, the insurance conditions and all security measures that affect your premiums.

From the field: "Knowing what's what"

Whether for national or international transport or long-term storage in our high-security centers – we tailor the insurance cover for your assets precisely to their needs and requirements. We also provide our customers with detailed information on all preventive measures. Thanks to detailed security protocols, you can track the protection of your valuables at any time, long before a loss event occurs.

2. to what extent does your insurance cover natural hazards in the high-security warehouse?

A high-security warehouse must be specially insured against fire and water damage. Water damage – caused by sprinkler systems, for example – can be particularly problematic if your valuables include works of art, banknotes or documents. You should also think about natural disasters such as flooding or earthquakes before taking out an insurance policy for your high-security storage. Our insurance protection covers a considerable range of natural hazards that could threaten your valuable items.

From the field: "On fire for all-risk protection"

Imagine a fire breaks out in your high-security storage facility due to an unexpected technical defect. The extreme heat causes severe damage to your gold bars, and some silver coins are even completely destroyed. In this case, your Helveticor insurance solution covers the entire value of your precious metals and guarantees full compensation.

3. which causes of damage are excluded from your insurance cover for high-security storage?

Many insurers exclude certain causes, such as damage caused by war or sabotage, or only cover defined risks. You should check such exclusions carefully before taking out a policy. Particular attention should be paid to the transparency that your high security storage service provider offers you regarding insurance exclusions. To avoid misunderstandings, you need to know exactly what is covered and what is not. As a Helveticor customer, you will therefore receive a detailed list of the covered and excluded risks. These are presented clearly and comprehensibly in the insurance certificate.

4. how are your assets protected against misappropriation by employees?

Human and organizational weaknesses in a high-security warehouse can contribute to the risk of employee misappropriation despite high security measures. You should raise these concerns with your high-security storage service provider and check how they address them. For effective prevention, they can rely on a multi-layered security and prevention concept, as we do at Helveticor:

Careful selection and training of staff to minimize the risk of irregularities
Strict internal controls to identify weaknesses at an early stage and take appropriate
measures
Insurance cover against embezzlement to provide additional protection and strengthen your trust in our service

If your high-security storage provider offers you such and similar measures, you can assume that not only financial protection is guaranteed in the high-security storage facility, but that the processes guarantee the highest standard of security.

5 How does your policy regulate compensation in the event of a claim?

A Loss Payee Rider (LPR) is a clause in your insurance contract that ensures that, in the event of a claim, the insurance benefit is paid directly to a contractually stipulated third party instead of to the policyholder.
With this supplementary agreement, a high-security storage service provider ensures that you as a customer are compensated directly by the insurance company in the event of a claim, without you having to deal with the complex claims settlement process. Your service provider acts as the policyholder, which considerably simplifies and speeds up the process for you.
At Helveticor, we incorporate LPR into our insurance contracts. Because in the event of a claim, we not only want to save you time and stress, but also do everything we can to ensure that you can rely on us 100%.

Short and sweet

In high-security storage, comprehensive insurance cover is essential to adequately protect the material and emotional value of your stored items.
You are right to wonder whether your assets are adequately protected in the event of damage caused by transportation, storage or unexpected events such as natural disasters. Your high security storage service provider should take these concerns seriously and address them with a tailored insurance solution that covers all risks transparently and completely.
If you also protect yourself against embezzlement by employees and have absolute clarity about exclusions and areas of cover, you can rely on the integrity of high security storage.

Customer service: Fast help, personal service.

Philip Joss — Fri, 24 Jan 2025 09:09:47 +0000

Does Helveticor's customer service deliver what it promises?

When it comes to customer service from a professional provider of high-security storage, only one person sets the tone: You, the customer. You should be able to expect such an understanding of customer orientation from your service provider. After all, nothing works here without your trust.

Anyone describing excellent customer service uses attributes such as these: easy to reach, personal contact, short response times with solutions on the spot, friendly, consistent contact persons. We attach particular importance to these and other characteristics in our high-security storage.

High security storage checklist

Maximum security for your assets starts with the right choice of storage. Our checklist shows you what really matters, from cost-benefit to ESG.

Download now and make an informed decision.

Check these criteria of cost-effectiveness and reliability:

Accessibility: Reliable, fast and competent service
Support: also available in urgent situations by phone, e-mail or WhatsApp
Contact: Personal contact person who takes care of your individual needs
Substitution: Even if your main contact person is absent, requests are processed seamlessly
Solution orientation: A suitable solution for every wish

4 reasons that speak for reliable customer service for all aspects of high-security storage

1. how accessible is the customer service of your high-security storage facility?

You know how unsatisfactory it can be when you need urgent support and no one is available or – even worse – when you end up in an endless musical loop on the phone. Before you choose a high-security service provider, you should therefore check whether they have a reliable deputization policy. This is the only way to ensure that a competent contact person is always available to deal with your concerns promptly and efficiently.

From the field: "There for you despite being on vacation"

The person who usually advises you personally at Helveticor is currently on vacation. This should not give you any cause for concern. Thanks to our clear substitution policy, an equally qualified colleague will take over your support and deal with your request seamlessly. Whatever stage your project is at, it will remain in good hands and you can count on our premium service as usual.

2. how personal is your contact with the high-security storage provider?

Surprising, but true: in the digital age, personal contact remains the most important communication channel between client and service provider. After all, a personal exchange is still the best way to formulate your concerns and find a satisfactory solution together. That’s why we always provide you, the customer, with the same contact person. This person knows your orders, concerns and specifications and will take care of your wishes. What’s special: Staff changes are comparatively rare with us.

3. how quickly do you receive support from your high security storage provider?

No one there, no callback, no interest. Especially when things are urgent and no one is available, being unavailable can lead to considerable delays and additional costs. That won’t happen to you with Helveticor. For urgent cases, we provide you with various communication channels such as telephone, e-mail or WhatsApp and process your inquiries immediately and personally.

4. how effectively does your high-security storage provider work during staff absences?

Your main contact person is absent and suddenly everything comes to a standstill. This results in frustration, backlogs, confusion and ultimately extra work because everyone is running after the problem. We think so: This should not be allowed to happen. That’s why we rely on the comprehensive expertise of our team. Thanks to close cooperation and regular communication, we ensure that we process your inquiries seamlessly and quickly, even when your main contact is absent. You enjoy the same quality and speed that you are used to from the person you trust.

From the field: "All clear"

You need a special solution for the high-security storage of particularly difficult assets. With Helveticor, you don’t have to explain your initial situation again. Your personal contact person is familiar with your case and knows all the interfaces and security issues. They will discuss your concerns with the people responsible for high-security storage and security transportation and present you with a targeted and efficient solution. This way, you know your order is in good hands and you can get back to the urgencies of your day-to-day business.

Seven principles of excellent customer service

Accessibility
Speed
Proactivity
Accuracy
Transparency
Personal responsibility
Friendliness
Continuous improvement

Short and sweet

Nothing is as frustrating as not being able to reach a competent contact person when you are in a hurry. Or when you have to deal with a deputy who has no idea about your order history or has no skills whatsoever. At Helveticor, we do things differently. Because we believe that continuity in the quality of our customer service is crucial to success. That is why we place your request at the center of our proactivity. With a clear structure for our customer service and targeted measures, we guarantee that you will always receive the best possible support and that we will even exceed your expectations.

Six times the security. Proven x-times

Philipp Sauber — Tue, 07 Jan 2025 09:18:19 +0000

How is the security of my assets guaranteed?

When it comes to security, the prevailing opinion is that it does not exist 100 percent. We see it differently. When it comes to the physical and virtual security of your valuables, you should only allow one level when choosing the right high-security storage facility: maximum.

In order to meet this requirement, security arrangements, processes, controls, technologies and transparency must be seamlessly and smoothly integrated. Only in this way can your valuables enjoy the protection that meets your requirements. And this is the only way a high-security warehouse can earn your trust.

High security storage checklist

Maximum security for your assets starts with the right choice of storage. Our checklist shows you what really matters, from cost-benefit to ESG.

Download now and make an informed decision.

Check the box next to these security criteria:

Strategy: Intelligent security system in place across all locations
Processes: Access regulated with strict processes
Technologies: State-of-the-art monitoring, fire and burglary technologies in use
Compliance: meets the strictest ISO and TAPA FSR standards
Checks: Protocols and systems checked regularly

6 questions you should ask about the security of your high-security storage facility

1. does your high-security warehouse have a coherent access process?

In a first-class high-security warehouse, several airlocks and security checkpoints ensure that only authorized persons are allowed to enter the storage facilities. This access process begins with the initial opening of the premises, which is strictly regulated. Entry to the building and access to the high-security vaults is subject to a multi-stage approval process and is transparently traceable. As part of the contractual agreements with our customers, we maintain a high level of quality in these access regulations.

From the field: "Precious metals among themselves"

In Helveticor’s high-security storage facilities, all access to precious metals such as gold or silver in the form of bars or coins is secured by various identity checks and biometric procedures and must be verified by several people at the same time. This reduces the chance of unauthorized persons entering the vault area to virtually zero.

2. are the access rights and decision-making powers of your high-security storage facility intelligently regulated?

The six-eyes principle minimizes the risk of misuse, embezzlement or theft, especially of physical valuables such as coins or securities. At Helveticor, at least three authorized employees must be present to ensure that one person is granted access to our storage units and can actually access them.

3. are adequate security systems installed in your high-security warehouse?

High-end technology forms the physical line of defense for security in a state-of-the-art high-security warehouse. This includes surveillance cameras that are active around the clock and are constantly mirrored via back-ups. An equally important component are high-class alarm systems that respond to any unauthorized activity.

From the field: "Raising the alarm immediately"

A few weeks ago, a conspicuous movement near a Helveticor high-security warehouse triggered an alarm. The security team intervened immediately and neutralized the threat before it could cause any damage.

4. do you have your securities distributed across several storage locations?

Geographical diversification reduces the risk of unauthorized access and therefore increases the security of your assets. This is because intruders have to incorporate new security criteria and find new loopholes with every location when planning an attack. With Helveticor, you have the option of storing physical valuables such as precious stones, jewelry, precious metal coins or data carriers at various high-security locations in Switzerland and abroad and having them strictly monitored.

5. does your service provider carry out regular inspections in the high-security warehouse?

Processes and arrangements are only as good as they are adhered to and monitored. Ensure that your service provider regularly reviews its security protocols and that the high-security warehouses are repeatedly inspected by certified specialists. These measures ensure that all security measures are active and effective and that the physical integrity of the storage environment is maintained at all times.

From the field: "Searched, found, fixed"

During a recent inspection, Helveticor’s security engineers discovered signs of a potential vulnerability in an alarm system. They immediately rectified the defect and were thus able to rule out the possibility of a security gap developing into a security problem.

6. does your service provider create transparency about the security of your high-security storage facility?

As someone who deals with values on a daily basis, trust is one of our strongest currencies. This saves you time, which you can use for your core competence. But trust is only built when activities are communicated regularly and processes can be both tracked and documented. This is why you can request an inspection of your stored goods from us at any time or convince yourself personally of the security of your objects.

By the way: You are welcome to visit our high-security warehouses unannounced and test the effectiveness of our security measures in person.

Short and sweet

When choosing your high-security storage facility, you place the highest demands on security. And rightly so.

Your high demands on the security of the high-security storage facility of your choice motivate us to continuously improve our security measures, whether in terms of compliance with access processes, the security technologies used or regular checks. Properly combined, these aspects provide a secure environment for your valuables and reduce the risk of theft, vandalism or internal fraud to almost zero.
