Safeguard Your Business During the Festive Season
The festive season, while joyous, can be a lucrative time for criminals, and there are sensible measures business owners, property, and facilities managers can apply to reduce the risk of crime.
The estimated cost of crime to UK businesses during Christmas hits a staggering £2.4 billion. This number translates to actual losses, disruptions, and risks. On average, a business might suffer a loss of around £1,000 due to crime during this period.
Therefore, companies and organisations must take security seriously over Christmas. These alarming statistics underscore the necessity of heightened security measures during this vulnerable time.
The Checklist Includes Information on…
- Physical security checks
- Securing entrances and exits
- Limiting access
- Eliminating fire hazards
- Locking down confidential information
- Scheduling regular security checks
- Ensuring your alarm and cameras are functioning correctly
- Reviewing and updating security plans
