    How to Improve On-Site Security if You’re a Small Business Owner

    In an almost purely technological age, physical security measures can sometimes take a backseat to cyber security. But that doesn’t mean physical security should just be ignored. Rather, it should be perfected so you, as a small business owner, don’t need to worry about it constantly.

    If your cyber security is tight and you’re looking for ways to keep your physical location more secure, you’ve come to the right place. Here are a few strategies you can employ for more reliable and effective security at your physical location.

    Limit Access to Sensitive Equipment

    When you’re shopping for a computer or a phone, the stores don’t typically just have all of their equipment out for you to play with. There’s typically a display computer or phone that gives you a taste of the real product. Almost 38% of inventory shrink is the result of shoplifting, and by limiting access to sensitive equipment you can help lower that number.

    Train Employees Well

    Your company security procedures don’t mean anything if your employees aren’t following them properly. To avoid this from happening and potentially weakening your security, make sure your employees are properly trained on your specific security protocols. In addition, have refresher training sessions every so often to reaffirm that your employees are following the correct procedures.

    Invest in Commercial Security Services

    Commercial security systems are absolutely essential when you have a physical location to protect. Retail security cameras, intrusion detection systems, and smoke and heat detectors are all essential security items that will help protect your business.

    Assess Your Building’s Access Points

    Are there any unprotected access points in your building? If there’s a window without a lock or a door that’s broken, you need to take that into account and take immediate action to remedy it. The sooner you identify potential security issues, the sooner you can prevent them from being issues in the future.

    Reliable and effective security is invaluable for small business owners. Taking the time to assess your security needs and developing a solution could be the most important measure you take to secure your business.
