In any business, it is essential to have good physical security to protect your premises, employees, and assets from theft, vandalism, and other physical harm. However, there are many different risks that businesses need to be aware of. In this blog, we\u2019re going to explore five of the most common physical security threats to businesses and possibly ways to mitigate them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 Physical Security Threats Businesses Should be Aware of<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Break-ins & burglaries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Break-ins and burglaries are major concerns for businesses of all sizes. The loss of important documents, equipment, and cash can set a business back significantly, not to mention the cost of repairs if the damage is caused during the break-in. To help prevent this from happening, ensure that all doors and windows are fitted with high-quality locks and that any valuables are kept in a safe place that is out of sight and inaccessible. Consider installing CCTV cameras and an alarm system as well\u2014these can act as a deterrent for would-be criminals and help identify them if a break-in occurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Vandalism<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Vandalism can range from graffiti spraying outside your building to smashed windows or damaged equipment. It can be costly to repair the damage caused by vandals, not to mention the negative impact it can have on your business\u2019s reputation. As with break-ins, installing CCTV cameras can help deter vandals and also aid in identifying them if they do strike. Physical security presence can aid in deterring damage as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also worth considering what type of insurance cover you have in case of vandalism\u2014many policies will only cover the repair cost if you can prove that the damage was caused by criminal damage rather than wear and tear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Fires<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The NFPA<\/a> found that in America, 37,000 are started annually, resulting in 18 deaths, 279 injuries, and $1B in property damages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s crucial to have adequate fire safety measures in place. These measures should include smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and emergency exits that are clearly marked and unobstructed. Physical security officers can help deter fires from being started at your business as well. Employees should also be given regular training on what to do during a fire (i.e., evacuation procedures, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Employee theft<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, employee theft is a reality for many businesses\u2014it\u2019s estimated that up to 7% of annual revenue is lost due to employee theft each year in the United States alone! To help prevent this from happening in your business, there are a few measures you can take: firstly, perform background checks on all new hires; create clear policies about what is considered acceptable behavior; improve your physical security to deter thieves; and understand the penalties<\/a> for theft in Saint Paul, Minnesota.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Terrorism<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, terrorism is also a threat that businesses must be aware of in today’s world. While there is no sure way to prevent attacks, there are a few things you can do to reduce the risk, such as having security measures in place and being aware of your surroundings. It’s also essential to plan what to do if an attack occurs so everyone stays safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
