Corporate Business Solutions: 5 Types Of Businesses Who Require Security Processes

For some businesses, security is important but optional, but for others, it is simply a necessity. Often, pro-activeness with a security plan only occurs once a break-in has occurred, but any responsible corporate business will have appropriate security processes in place to prevent criminals in the first place. Factors such as the nature of the business, property location or ability to be targeted by criminals should be acknowledged and used to create and implement an effective security strategy.

Warehouses - Warehouses are a vital part of the commercial sector and are often a target as they are not as populated as an office. Mostly, warehouses will not have physical money on premises, but they will have goods which criminals could take and exploit. If goods are taken the warehouse owner will suffer as their client will not receive their product and could potentially terminate business. We recommend installing an internal and external CCTV system, hire a key holder with a response team, and an alarm system that triggers and contacts emergency services. If these processes are followed not only will it deter, but also contribute to the recovery of goods and prosecution of the criminal.

Retail stores - Regardless of the type of retail store you own, e.g. electronic, jewellery, clothing etc., you will need reactive security methods to highlight a criminal as quickly as possible to prevent the goods from leaving the building. Often fake security technologies are installed so that customers see the system and refrain from theft or damage, but this is not useful as they could soon realise the systems do not actually work and exploit this. This is also ineffective at night as criminals can utilise that there isn't actually any real security on site. We advise installing CCTV, an alarm system, utilise key holding services and static guards to keep your business safe.

Banks - It is important to know, most injuries as a result of a bank robbery or violent customer are caused by a member of staff trying to signal for help. Therefore, a comprehensive security system which includes the ability to record visuals and silently contact emergency services will provide higher levels of protection for employees and visitors. We advise to also have physical guards within the bank as they are often a deterrent and can produce the necessary protective skills if necessary.

Restaurants - Often they will already have a security alarm in place to prevent a break-in at night, but most of the money stolen from a restaurant occurs during the workday by staff. It is vital you have a CCTV system in place to collect visual evidence if required, then the appropriate reaction can be made.

Offices e.g. Insurance, Managing agents, Accountants, City financial firms, Wealth management - Offices which deal with the public are at most risk of violence, therefore, a concierge and CCTV operations are essential to minimise the damage caused and to collate evidence of the assault. The contents of an office can also be an appealing thought for criminals as offices often contain expensive equipment, therefore preventative methods such as access control, mobile patrols and static guards are essential to limit the risk of forced entry.
