Your Business Faces Risks After Hours

Every owner and manager of a business must consider how secure their facility is when it is closed. Anytime your company is closed, a unique set of safety and security issues arise. Let’s take a look at a few of them.

1.    After-hour personnel are at risk.

If your business staff is severely reduced after hours, such as accounting staff working late, management meetings, stock personnel, or other situations requiring only a few to remain behind, the company must keep them safe.

2.    Empty buildings are frequent targets.

When your buildings are unoccupied, criminals see opportunity. While most may be minor inconveniences such as loitering or light vandalism, there are others who may be more ambitious. Maxxguard security deters these types of criminal opportunities.

3.    Outside service crews or vendors.

If you have third party services that are required to be on your property at odd times, such as cleaning crews after hours, or vendors making drop shipments, you are at risk. An absent-minded unlocked door could leave your building open for thieves. Maxxguard security patrols are trained to check these situations.

4.    Alarms and cameras are too late.

While alarm systems and cameras are effective as a deterrent, let’s be honest. Depending on your business’s location, it could take a considerable amount of time before law enforcement can arrive. Even then, the burglars are likely long gone and the damage is already done. Maxxguard security is a physical deterrent. Criminals are more hesitant to act when someone is physically on property.

5.    Competitors.

Depending upon your business, the business world can be extremely competitive, and it’s not outside of the realm of possibility that your company could be infiltrated after hours by a competitor seeking information, or to damage sensitive equipment.

6.    Storms, fires, and other situations.

Thunderstorms, fires, and other hazards don’t keep office hours. The damage these events can cause are even worse when no one is on site. Maxxguard security can help alleviate those concerns.
