Five Signs you Should Invest in Business Security

Feb 25, 14 • NewsNo Comments

Great reasons to think about hiring security guardsAs the person responsible for your organization’s facility, it’s easy to think that vandalism and theft couldn’t happen to you. Therefore, you may not have taken the proper precautions against it. If this is the position you find yourself in, consider the potential cost of inaction. Having a security officer on site could deter theft, vandalism, injury to staff and destruction of property, which can be a massive financial blow.

5 Signs you should invest in Business Security:

  1. Your business is in an area with a rising crime rate.
    If your business is located in an area with a crime rate on the rise, it’s probably a good idea to preemptively set up a security program. If you have someone on site that can report all unusual behavior, it can prevent these incidences.
  2. There is a general lack of trust among employees.
    Unfortunately, not everyone is completely trustworthy. You probably screen your employees very carefully, but many businesses still find that shrinkage is their biggest financial loss, and that primarily, their own employees are the biggest source.
  3. Your business deals with frequent trespassing.
    If you no longer want strangers walking through your property, a security company can help. A professional security company can also keep an eye out for loiterers who otherwise would stand for hours drinking, smoking or socializing on your business steps.
  4. Your property needs to be monitored.
    Vandalism frequently takes place after hours, and can lead to costly maintenance and repair costs. If you want total assurance that no one will vandalize or loiter after hours, a highly-qualified onsite security team can guard your property for you.
  5. You need to restrict or monitor the coming and going of people to your business.
    If you have a string of visitors, vendors, customers and employees coming and going, it can be hard to keep track of your assets, and a general lack of security is a common result. One function our security guards are trained to perform is that of a friendly face in your lobby or main entrance.
