What should you do after verifying access during a key assist?

After verifying access during a key assist, securing the area when finished is crucial because it ensures that the location remains safe and access is controlled. This step is important to maintain the integrity of the area and to prevent unauthorized individuals from entering. By securing the area, you are actively contributing to the overall security measures in place and ensuring that the protocol is followed to protect the assets and individuals within that space.

While notifying a supervisor, leaving the area, or reporting the incident may have their own merits in certain contexts, the immediate focus after a verified key assist should be on securing the area to uphold the security standards expected in such situations. This action reflects a proactive approach to maintaining safety and security in the environment.
