At Carolina Security Technologies, we have extensive experience in the security industry, and we offer a wide range of services to help you protect your home or business. No matter how sophisticated your business security system is, though, it can only be effective if you and your staff follow some basic security principles.
In this article, our team will go over some common mistakes people make when it comes to business security and how you can avoid them.
- Concentrating on the Front Door – One common business security mistake is to concentrate all your security safeguards on the front door of the building. While it’s important to protect this entry point, you shouldn’t focus 100% of your attention there, as there are plenty of other ways a determined intruder could access your building. We strongly encourage you to protect your back doors, windows, and other points of entry, not just the front door.
- Relying on Just One Security Measure – Another mistake we often see when it comes to business security is relying too much on just one or two security measures. It’s not enough to install a single sensor or camera and call it a day—instead, you should employ a diverse array of security measures. The greater the variety of security measures you use, the less likely it is for intruders to defeat them all.
- Forgetting Internal Threats – A third mistake people often make when designing business security systems and strategies is to neglect the possibility of internal threats. Sometimes thieves are not strangers, but your own employees. To protect your business from internal threats, you should thoroughly vet each employee before hiring them, and you should put firm access control measures in place.
