ADT Security provides physical security solutions for your business, and are an Official Partner for Local Business Week.
In today's world, more and more people would have you believe that physical crime is a thing of the past, and all the security you need to worry about is online. Unfortunately, that is just not the case. 
Over half of small and medium businesses in the UK have been targeted by physical crime, costing owners £25m, or £2,625 for every crime. 
With so much of your business being stored on devices that are vital to your day-to-day operation, you can't afford to have anything less than the best to help keep your workplace safe. Here are some areas you should look at:
  • Alarm System
Although it may seem like an obvious suggestion, many small businesses think they're so small they'll go under the radar of the average criminal, so don't need an alarm. But criminals know that, and will often target smaller businesses due to their lessened security.
Another thing to consider is the possibility of a fire. Do you have a fire alarm? If not, your business is at risk. ADT provide custom alarm and fire safety systems to prevent damage and ensure your business is secure from any and all threats. ​
  • Employee Access
Do you know who has access to your building? Can anyone stroll on in whenever they fancy? Do you know who has visited on a given day, and when? If you don't have a way of tracking who goes where, you're vulnerable. Getting a robust access system is a smart way to limit how criminals can access your business, and will keep more valuable rooms off limits to anyone who shouldn't be there. Verifying all your employees identification is the easiest way to stop criminals scoping out your business from the inside.
  • CCTV
Every theft costs you money and jeopardises everything you’ve worked hard for. Shop thefts alone cost businesses £44m in 2013, but using the latest video surveillance technology you can rest easy knowing your business is always being watched.
