Here are some security tips to help secure your business.

Have a visible CCTV system on all entry and exit points

90% of business burglarly commences during daytime hours with intruders getting eyes on your asets during working hours. 45% of work place crime comes from subcontractors on site so be weary of who you let into your business and adequately vet companies who visit your premise to carry out works. It is a security benefit to have an access control system in place so anyone cannot just drive or walk onto your estate or business.

Have a visible CCTV system on all entry and exit points

In 1066 there was the battle of hastings with moats and draw bridges being used as a security deterrant to stop evading parties coming onto their estate or castle grounds. Fast forward 1000 years and now most business owners opt for cheap and ineffective security measures which lead to intruders pulling barriers or wire mesh fencing apart & sneaking into your business.

Invest in a quality security fenceline which needs to be patrolled by security at the start of each and every shift (please scroll further down for more details).

Changing of the guard

Have your security guards patrol the perimetre fencline during the start & end of each shift. Oftan, intruders will open fencelines in unlit, unsecure areas to later go back during the silent hours. Giving security professionals incidents is an essential ingrediant for keeping a safe site. At Sparta Security we use a connect teams app which clients can log onto to see guards GPS and view incident report forms. All Sparta guards use this system which lets our Task Force know your site is being patrolled adequately and we know where our security guard's are patrolling.

Security Lighting

Is essential in unlit areas. Intruders hate being exposed so have PIR lights in isolated areas which flash on if sensors are activated. Do outside security lights deter burglars?

Yes, they do – burglars tend to look for places with no obvious security. And most break-ins happen at night when intruders can spend time getting into your business under the cloak of darkness.

For both these reasons, outdoor light fixtures are a really effective security measure .

Guard Dogs are the most effective choice of security

Rather, than having security sign on your business buy a dog kennel and keep it in a secured area of your business. Place this in an area visitors and workers will see this driving into and off site. Your K-9 security team do not have to use this but set your stall out and from the offset and show intruders or visitors to your business that you have a security team on site. 90% of business burglaries start in daylight hours

Access Control

Limit who can drive onto your property. Criminal gangs will drive onto your site in untaxed vehciles before later targetting specific equipment. By having ANPR cameras you can see what vehciles are road worthy and by having a gatehouse guard is an affective security measure to present against workplace theft. Be proactive not reactive. Most businesses contact Sparta after the horse has left the stable.
