If you are involved with a start-up company, exciting times are ahead, with plenty to consider - from interviewing candidates and organising paperwork, to ensuring your premises are secure and protected against intruders. Even if nothing valuable or important is located within your four walls, the damage incurred by a trespasser to gain entry could total up to a hefty repair bill. Having collaborated in the past with businesses as varied as start-ups and small organisations, to multinational companies and big businesses, we’re well-placed to take you through some prominent ways to safeguard your office in 2022.
Gates Or Shutters
Your security needs will vary depending on factors such as location, size of premises and line of work, however one principle which unites all of these elements is that criminals are less likely to try and access something which isn’t visible. While security shutters are an effective means of concealing the expensive technology or interior features of your premises, security gates are more of a specialist investment, and can prevent vehicle entry. Both of these security options can be acquired and CCTV installation can be handled by Shuretech.
Safes And Document Protection
If your line of work involves dealing with sensitive financial information and personal details, or you have accumulated a large amount of money within your premises, a safe may be appropriate to contain such assets when not in use. Either stored overnight or left within while not required, a safe should be located somewhere a criminal is unlikely to check, and locked correctly. Documents of a sensitive nature should be located away from prying eyes, with lockboxes and drawers satisfactory.
CCTV Systems
CCTV is a fantastic investment for several reasons. Firstly, a network of security cameras will deter potential intruders simply by remaining visible, giving criminals a visual reminder that they are being filmed at all times. If you are unfortunate enough to experience a break-in, the cameras will beagle to provide footage of the perpetrator. Some CCTV networks can even be streamed directly to your smartphone as a live feed, notifying you when movement is detected, ideal for offices large and small.
Anti-Crime Schemes
Plenty of anti-crime schemes exist both nationally and no-doubt locally, with helpful communities such as Shopwatch and Pubwatch designed to prevent security breaches and break-ins by fostering a network of communication between business owners. The Business Crime Reduction Partnership (BCRP) is a more universal offering, helpfully working with police and the local authorities to tackle and reduce crime affecting businesses. This includes assistance for start-ups and new businesses.
