Are Your Business Premises Secure Enough?

Are Your Business Premises Secure Enough?
2

• When your company premises are damaged due to
  vandalism or intruders, not only can this slow
  your business down, but it can cost considerable
  money to put right. If you value your business,
  then you should absolutely value its premises,
  too, and here are a few questions you should be
  asking yourself to determine whether your
  business premises are secure enough
• Have you thoroughly assessed security at your
  business premises?
• There is no point investing in expensive security
  systems if you havent properly assessed the
  current strength and security of your entry
  points, such as the back and side of the
  property, the loading bay, and even the roof.

• Try to view your premises from the perspective of
  an intruder, and then be sure to do your best to
  fix any problems that you were able to highlight.
  You can also seek expert advice from a security
  company if you have any doubts about protecting
  your premises.
• Do you have a controlled entry system in place?
• Allowing people access to your business premises
  without any controls in place could easily mean
  that strangers and individuals with criminal
  intent could be allowed to enter, unchecked and
  unmonitored. Something as simple as employing a
  receptionist and having only one main entrance to
  the building or site could help you to ensure
  that only authorized personnel is able to access
  certain areas.

• Is your outdoor lighting appropriate?
• Motion sensor lighting can be a great and
  cost-effective burglar deterrent and may be all
  that is required to make a nighttime prowler
  think twice about trying to break into your
  business premises.
• Are your windows secure enough?
• Double glazing on all windows at your business
  premises will help make such entry points more
  secure, and will help you to maintain a warm,
  comfortable area, too

• Have you considered installing CCTV cameras?
• While some business owners might consider
  installing CCTV cameras to be an added expense
  that they dont need, they are proven to be a
  fantastic crime deterrent, and with warning signs
  hung up around the premises to show potential
  intruders that their actions will be recorded,
  the chances of your site being broken into are
  significantly reduced.
• Your locks may work, but are they strong enough?
• Keeping your business premises under lock and key
  is, of course, a deterrent to intruders,

• Keeping your business premises under lock and key
  is, of course, a deterrent to intruders, but
  modern burglars are often equipped with the tools
  to make short shrift of a standard lock, and so
  these may not be enough to keep the premises
  properly secure.
• Talk to your local locksmith about the best types
  of locks for your business premises, and ask them
  to conduct a security assessment of your site to
  help you determine if you need to make some
  upgrades to your existing lock systems.

• Do you assess your security needs often enough?
• Security vulnerabilities can crop at any time,
  and unless you regularly perform spot checks of
  your business premises, you may not be aware of
  any issues that may put you and your business at
  risks, such as broken or faulty locks, CCTV
  cameras that arent working or motion sensor
  lighting that isnt functioning as it should.
• Your business is doubtless important to you and
  maybe equally so to your employees, so never
  underestimate the importance of keeping your
  premises safe and secure, so that you and your
  workforce can continue to work free from the risk
  of intruders, vandalism, and theft.
