Control Access to Your Business
Access control is vitally important. Make sure that you know who’s in sensitive areas of your business premises at all time. That includes staff, vendors, and customers. Obviously, the degree to which you can control access is dependent upon the type of business you operate, but it’s important to implement some type of system to ensure that you maintain some sense of order.
Focus on Your Team
Often, security lapses, theft, and other problems can be traced directly to business staff. Take measures to train your team to ensure that they understand the business’ security protocols and avoid potential breaches.
Leverage Technology
Modern camera systems can help you to better monitor your premises and prevent most threats. At a minimum, make sure that you invest in cameras to monitor who comes in and out of the business.
Build Good Relations with Law Enforcement
Go out of your way to build a good relationship with local law enforcement. That can help to encourage them to establish a routine presence in your company’s neighborhood, and that alone can help to deter most crime.
Don’t Skimp on Locks and Other Security Measures
Have good locks, keycard systems, and other security measures installed on-site. Every door should be protected with state-of-the-art locks. Remember, most criminals will avoid heavily-fortified targets and opt for easier prey.
Be Vigilant and Report Suspicious Activity
Always be on the lookout for potential threats. When you see something that looks suspicious, report it to the appropriate authorities so that they can investigate. It’s always better to be overly cautious than dangerously complacent.
