It’s so easy to start your own business in this day and age that people who have an office or hub, rather than just running it from a spare bedroom, seem to forget about security.
Existing companies may feel that they have taken measures to protect their business and they probably have, but with a lot of people trying to find quick ways to make money and crime being on the up, it’s time to improve your security.
In this article I’m going to be taking a look at some of the measures you can take in order to increase the security of your company, no matter where it is run from.
Internet Security
A lot of businesses are now run from the comfort of someone’s own home with all of the transactions and business deals going out across the internet. It is very important to ensure that you have a separate computer used for doing work. It’s not recommended that you are logged in to any personal accounts on your work computer, especially when money transactions are taking place.
Find yourself a good, reliable protection programme that blocks hackers via the internet. If your company is handling large amounts of money then it makes it an easy target for online hackers. If you do happen to be hacked then it can be all the more devastating if you are logged into personal internet banking accounts.
CCTV
‘Dummy’ CCTV cameras are used by a lot of companies to deter possible intruders. This year is the year that you get rid of the dummies and purchase the real thing. A good security system can set you back quite a bit of money, but it’s that or you are a waiting target.
When purchasing a security system, it’s important to make sure that you get something that is going to last.
Manned Guarding Companies
Manned guarding companies are based up and down the UK and really are the best at protecting businesses. Whilst CCTV and alarms are deterrents for possible intruders, nothing will scare someone off like a physical person watching over your company.
This year is the year to start thinking about the benefits of manned guarding companies. Businesses that run out of a warehouse park may already have luxury of this but for new businesses that sit away from the rest in terms of location; it’s definitely something worth thinking about.
From manned guarding companies to installing some antivirus software on your computer, there really is no cost to great when it comes to protecting your business.
