Different Physical Security Risks for Your Business Posted on July 25, 2022July 24, 2022 By Leigh Langston Physical security is a huge problem for businesses since countless people come through their doors. Protecting your business should be a top priority for the safety of your employees and your business. To better understand what you need to protect, here’s a look at the different security risks your business faces. Building Vandalism Vandalism is one of the most common problems for any building or physical business. People will sometimes tag or paint on the sides of buildings, which gets expensive to clean up. Additionally, people can break your items (usually by accident) as they use them. Installing some security systems can prevent many of these incidents, as people will worry about being caught and act carefully. Theft of Products When you have products in the open, theft becomes a huge issue. Some people will see these items and want to take them without paying. Mitigating the chances of this happening is important for saving money. Install security systems to protect your products from people with bad intentions. Additionally, only put inexpensive things near the exits just in case someone tries taking them. Theft of Data Data theft is a very serious problem and is something you need to prevent. Whether it’s employees’ personal information, future business plans, or information about profits, you need to keep it safe. There are many ways to do this, from digitizing these files and using cyber protection to choosing the best access control system to prevent access to the documents. Unwanted Tailgating Tailgating isn’t a party in this case; it’s when someone sneaks inside a building after someone else opens the door. They sneak in right behind someone who unwittingly lets them in past security. This is a huge problem and hole in security and happens frequently. However, you can implement certain practices and policies to prevent tailgating and keep your employees and business safe. These are most of the physical security risks your business will need to worry about. All of them are solvable with the proper investment into your security, and it’s especially wise to invest in security guards and access control systems that protect your business.
