Implementing security upgrades can safeguard the commercial equipment and inventory stored in your business premises. These security measures will also contribute to the safety of your workforce. Evaluating the value of making security upgrades to your property is a prudent step toward securing your assets.
Risk Assessment
A risk assessment can give you a clear picture of the potential for your building to become a crime target. During this evaluation, you’ll determine the value of all items stored within your facility. The storage methods you use will also be scrutinized. It’s advisable to keep valuable items in clean, dry areas and out of sight when your business premises are closed.
Security Upgrades
Your business contents might be under threat from criminal activities or inclement weather. Any machinery or other items stored outside may also be at risk. Survey various security upgrades that could provide added protection. Digital locking systems, keypads, surveillance cameras, and lockboxes are some security enhancements that could benefit your business.
Documentation
Maintain records detailing all the security upgrades you have completed. This information should be incorporated into your commercial insurance policy. Make sure that your documentation also includes details about the maintenance of your security equipment. Devices like surveillance cameras need to be inspected regularly to ensure they are always ready to protect your property.
