    Determine where your security is weak and where you may be exposed to loss. Look to restricting or preventing access to sensitive equipment or stock by improving access permissions.

    Evaluate your surveillance when you are both open and closed. You need to know who has access and to what areas.

    Ask yourself how you will be notified if there is a problem and who else needs to be made aware of the security breach.

    To create a sound security solution for your business, you have to fully analyze your security plan and understanding the advantages of different types of security tools, equipment and software.

    Here are some pointers:
    • Install good name brand locks on all exterior doors, stock room doors, IT room doors, etc. Consider installing door frame reinforced in steel.
    • Put a layer of 12mm transparent film on all ground floor windows. Window bars are also an excellent deterrent to entry.
    • Install a 24 hour monitored alarm system that will notify you by phone and email.
    • Use a loud siren and flashing light that will draw attention to your building if it is ever compromised.
    • Install video surveillance cameras that capture everything that takes place on your property and that can be easily accessible from wherever you are.
    • Use an access control system that both prevents unauthorized entry and records permitted access to sensitive areas within your business.

  • Olympic Security

    The security at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia – where Canadian men and women defended hockey gold! – was said to be one of the most secure Olympic games ever.

    We broke down the enormous security plan:

      • 40,000 law enforcement officials, including police and the Russian Armed Forces
      • A Presidential Decree signed by President Vladimir Putin required that any protests and demonstrations in Sochi be approved by the Federal Security Service
      • Travel restrictions were in effect in and around Sochi: A “controlled” zone, dubbed the “ring of steel”, covered the Coastal and Mountain areas where the Games’ venues were.
      biometric-securityTo enter controlled areas, visitors had to pass through security checkpoints with x-ray machines, metal detectors and explosive material scanners.
      • Several areas are designated as “forbidden”, including Sochi National Park
      • An unmanned aerial vehicle squadron, along with S-400 and Pantsir-S1 air defense rockets protected Olympic airspace
      • Four gunboats were also deployed on the Black Sea to protect the coastline
      • Russia’s Ministry of Emergency Situations was stationed in Sochi for the Games
      • 10,000 Internal Troops of the Ministry of Interior provided security services
      • 1,500 Siberian Regional Command troops were stationed nearby.
      • The 58th Army unit of the Russian Armed Forces defended the Georgia-Russia border
      • The United States supplied Navy ships and other assets for security purposes

    While you will never need a security plan that resembles that of the Olympics, it does illustrate the importance of having a well thought out security plan. To schedule a free no-obligation security evaluation of your home call 1-800-265-5317 or just CLICK HERE.
