Business Security System Tips

To fully understand the security precautions you should be considering, a full comprehensive security system review is often recommended.

As part of a security review we’ve put together a list of tips and points to consider:

  • Be aware of all the possible access points to your building premises as well as the external perimeter. This includes areas such as roof spaces, skylights and adjoining walls with neighbours
  • Know which areas of your building are and are not visible from the street
  • Was your existing security system designed for your business or was it installed by a previous building owner? It’s important that your security system meets the needs of your business today
  • Discuss your security options with your insurance provider. Are they willing to offer a discount on your premiums for one system more than another. Make your decision as cost effective as you can
  • Understand what you have that may attract burglars or vandals. Internal as well as external security devices should be considered
  • Use visible deterrents such as external alarm boxes and window, door or gate and boundary stickers and signage
  • Do you have items on display after hours which may be a target of burglary (eg through windows or glass doors), minimise these as much as possible
  • Talk to other local business owners, understand local area security risks and any previous issues
  • Ensure your security system review and alarm testing is part of your annual maintenance schedule
