3 Reasons to Beef Up Security for Your Business

3 Reasons to Beef Up Security for Your Business

If you haven’t invested in a security system for your business, now is the time.

If you are a commercial business owner, you already know how important your company’s security can be. For both you, your employees, and your client’s sake, all the information that you work with every day must be safely secured. If you haven’t invested in a security system for your business, though, now is the time. Companies are a frequent target for most burglaries in the United States. While security is essential for all businesses, some industries are more appealing to burglars than others, and proper precautions should be made accordingly. Here are three reasons burglars may target your business and how to properly defend against them.

What Makes a Business a Target for Burglars?

When it comes to choosing a possible target, burglars look for specific characteristics regarding your company, and it’s security system. Here are a few of the qualities:

  • Businesses with clear valuables: Electronic stores, pharmacies, liquor stores, and jewelry stores are all primary targets for criminals because of the valuable items that are sold there. A criminal can sell items from these stores for a significant profit.
  • Cash Heavy Businesses: Burglars often go after places that keep large amounts of cash on hand. Establishments like pawn stores and banks are targets for burglars. Any office businesses with valuable client information can also be targets.
  • Late Night Businesses: Restaurants, bars, and gas stations are other prime targets for burglars. This is because fewer people are working and little to no security systems implemented.

How to Keep Your Business Safe and Secure

Here are some methods on how to secure the valuables your business might be holding:

  • Video surveillance allows you to keep a close eye on your business when you’re not there. Catch and monitor criminals with surveillance cameras set throughout your business and its perimeters. If your company wants something a bit more high-tech for security reasons, consider artificial intelligence cameras – such as an intelligent driver cam. 
  • Monitored alarms can alert if an intruder tries to break into your business. A warning is triggered, and a signal is then sent to a monitoring center. Afterward, a monitoring center then lets you and the authorities know of the incident. You can also apply any advanced security technology from Gatekeeper in any company cars to ensure they don’t get broken into or hacked.
  • Mobile solutions allow you to manage your company’s security system through your smartphone or computer.
