How to Assess Your Security Needs
Security has changed dramatically over the years. Used to be only large corporations with an expansive operation budget or wealthy families could afford effective security for their property. Those without these resources would become easy targets for theft or other harmful incidences. Thankfully, now, with all manner of technology and electronic devices, the security industry can offer an entire range of ‘low-tech’ to ‘high-tech’ security options at prices allowing everyone to feel comfortable.
Figuring out what specific technologies to use and how to properly implement them can be very difficult. Here are a few tips to help you when deciding what security measures you should invest in for your business or home.
Consider the Location of Your Home or Office
Start by taking into account the geographic location and area where you live or work. Elements like crime rates, remote or high-traffic area, beach city, tourist town, industrial area or office park all can help clue you in on your vulnerabilities. This can help you identify low hanging fruit security threats and assure you put security measures in place to address them. For example, a convenience store in a historically high crime rate area will need to be aware of shoplifting and possibly implement surveillance security to minimize this risk.
Consider What Are Your Most Valuable Assets
This would include your family in a home or your employees and customers at an office or storefront. Once the individuals’ safety is covered you have to consider which assets are the most vulnerable and most valuable. A jewelry store, for example, will want to keep displayed inventory securely locked behind glass and constantly monitored via security camera, while a tech company may have proprietary technology guarded by comprehensive access control technology. Your specific security goals will defer case by case but you need to establish which assets are most valuable and assure there are security measures in place to protect them.
