18 Security Risk Questions You Must Ask To Protect Your Business

RiskDo you need to protect your business from internal and external threats? Are you afraid of criminals attacking your staff, robbing you or stealing your inventory?

 

I've worked in the security business for many years and I've found that asking a few simple security questions about your business can help build an accurate picture about your security risks. 

 

Answering yes to any of these questions indicates that your business may be at risk and vulnerable to a threat, and that you should take immediate action to do something about it.

 

While these questions are not fully comprehensive, they're a great starting point for a security risk assessment of your business ... as I believe the answers can uncover many vulnerabilities that may not be obvious to the average business. 

 

  1. Do you have signs posted outside for no trespassing, no loitering etc.?

  2. Are any of the products you sell considered "hot" and "in-strong-demand" products?

  3. Does your building have any entry points open to the public?

  4. Does your building have any reserved parking spaces with names on them?

  5. Is any part of your property fenced?

  6. Are you currently using a unverified conventional alarm system, or no alarm system?

  7. Does your building have sufficient lighting?

  8. Is there any landscaping or blind spots that could create hiding places for criminals, close to your premises?

  9. Is there anything that will help criminals get on the roof i.e. ladders, trees, fences etc.?

  10. Does your building have a marked shipping and receiving area?

  11. Does your building have roof vents or skylights?

  12. Does you building have concrete posts installed to prevent vehicles from ramming doors?

  13. Does your building use metal keys?

  14. Do you staff accept cash payments or deal with money on a regular basis?

  15. Do you keep a stock of inventory that has any resale value?

  16. Does your building have signage that clearly identifies correct responding emergency personnel?

  17. Do you have any exposed telephone lines etc. outside you building?

  18. Is your address hard to see from the front and rear of your building?
