What type of security alarm system should i buy for my business?

As a business owner or manager, you need to understand the threats and vulnerabilities of your particular industry, building type, and location, in order to make informed decisions about security. In the case of security, one size definitely does not fit all. To properly protect your assets, employees, inventory, and livelihood, you need a security solution tailored to your specific needs.

Some of the biggest mistakes made by businesses today regarding security, include selecting a security system based on price alone. Assuming all systems are the same, they go with what they perceive to be the most affordable option. This is one of the worst mistakes you can make. Insufficient security systems are easily exploited by thieves. Criminals are getting smarter, and they have developed techniques to bypass these basic security systems that aren’t tailored to the business they are meant to be protecting, costing the business thousands more than they would have spent on a customized and thorough security solution.

Do you have a verified alarm?  If not do you realize that Police will most likely not even respond to your facility or compound. 

Does your insurer know that you do not have a verified alarm and therefore do not receive a Police response?  If they do not know this they most likely will not honor your insurance policy as Police response is a condition of most insurance policies.

A jewellry store is going to have different security needs than a place of worship or a school. So how do you determine what type of security system you need? Below are a few questions you should consider carefully before choosing a security system.

 

What type of threats do you face?

Is your biggest threat internal such as your own employees? Or are your threats more externally based such as robbery and vandalism?

Where are you located?

Is your business in a high-risk area?

Where are your valuables located?

Are your valuables inside a building or outside in a compound?

What type of building are you in?

Are you in a detached, stand-alone building or are you in a unit of a larger building?

Do you have high-value inventory or assets at risk of theft?

Do you keep pharmaceuticals, electronics, jewelry, or valuable construction materials onsite?

Do you have confidential data you need to secure?

Do you store digital data that includes client’s personal information, financial information, or other sensitive data?

 

The questions above are only some of the things you need to consider when choosing a security system. This is why having a security assessment is important.
