Owning or managing a business can come with a whole set of other responsibilities in addition to your daily operations. One of these includes safety and protecting your business and inventory against criminal activity. As a result, you may be required to hire security services, monitor surveillance equipment, or regularly check in on your premises to prevent this from happening.
These areas are some of the most frequent security breaches that most businesses neglect to secure properly.
Breakable Structures
Glass is a common feature in most businesses, from structural walls to windows and doors. Even if it is reinforced glass, businesses can still be left vulnerable to criminals. It is important to remember that although glass may work in creating more modern-looking premises, it is also more susceptible to being broken. These days, criminals will make use of equipment to break in and no matter how thick your glass is, it will eventually shatter.
Changing your entire business premises to address this lapse in security is not feasible. However, you can add motion sensors near the glass to quickly alert your security company of an intrusion.
Aging Security Systems
Much like any type of software, security systems are effective when they have been updated over time. Although visible motion sensors, panic buttons and cameras can deter criminals from entering your premises, they are more likely to notice an outdated system. Therefore, it is important to update it regularly with the support of security companies and prioritize moving over to newer technologies to protect your business and livelihood.
Missed Surveillance
We often assume that our security company will effectively cover our entire premises thoroughly. While most reputable companies strive to provide our clients with peace of mind, sometimes missed surveillance can happen. This is when cameras have gaps in their coverage. Therefore, you must review your cameras’ placement frequently with your security company to prevent particular areas from being exploited by criminals.
While you may follow general advice in securing your business or even take it for granted that your security company will handle it all, there is still the possibility of crime occurring due to gaps overlooked.
