Premises
How secure is your business premises? How do you protect your assets? How do you handle visitors, contractors, cleaners? What procedures do you have to manage un-authorised entry? While businesses need to operate efficiently and some like to operate an ‘open door’ policy this can have serious effects on a company should something go wrong.
The loss of a laptop can cause serious issues under Data Protection legislation and business continuity. Control of confidential records, integral to a company’s operations, can be critical for the survival of a business. How do you protect these? Stock loss to both customers and staff is a key issue in the retail and wholesale sectors. Different sets of risks are present during business opening times and out-of-hours. Detailed analysis of these by a professional Security Consultant will help to minimise or eliminate the risks.
Directors & Key Employees
Every company has a duty of care to its staff to ensure that the company takes the necessary precautions and has procedures in place to deal with any incident that could be reasonably identified or is likely to occur. A detailed risk analysis by a professional Security Consultant will identify the risks and provide the necessary advice and recommendations for the company to minimise, mitigate or eliminate the risks.
Directors and key personnel in some industries can be vulnerable, both at work and at home to threats such as kidnap, coercion, forced premises opening, etc. If an incident occurs that could have been foreseen in a risk assessment then the company in question leaves itself open to a claim for trauma or injury from the staff member involved. The evaluation of risks by a professional Security Consultant can greatly improve risk awareness and safety for Directors and key employees and therefore help to protect the assets of the company.
Individuals
Some individuals may have increased security risks due to their occupation, personal wealth, fame or status. It is important that risk analysis is carried out to determine the risks, but more importantly, to ensure that they can live as normal a life as possible, even with an enhanced level of security. This can be doubly important where members of their family are concerned.
A risk analysis carried out by a professional Security Consultant can achieve the best balance of safety and normality for such individuals.
