Security Tips For Your Business Premises

Our offices and workplaces typical hold a wide range of valuable items, from IT equipment to legal and sensitive documents, stock to cash. It’s important to ensure that all your important and valuable assets are protected.

The shift to remote working during the pandemic has highlighted the need for businesses to bolster their cybersecurity, but empty offices and workplaces can be rich pickings for thieves if you do not have adequate security measures in place.

We have some tips to help protect your business premises.

 

Use a monitored alarm system

An alarm should be one of the first considerations when boosting your security measures. To begin with, an alarm can act as a deterrent to thieves.

If criminals are not deterred, believing the reward outweighs the risk, then a monitored alarm can transmit a signal to a monitoring service, which in turn dispatches security personnel and/or the police, if they gain entry and trigger the system.

 

Ensure locks are to British Standard

String locks are an obvious way to prevent intruders from entering the property, but you must have locks that conform with British Standards. These locks are rigorously testing to ensure they offer adequate protection. It is also likely that your business property insurance requires you to ensure you have locks that are certified BS 3621.

 

Install CCTV

CCTV images are often more associated with solving crime than preventing it, but they also act as another deterrent. However, CCTV systems should be considered as just one aspect of a robust security system. The placement of the cameras and adequate lighting should also be carefully considered.
