Why Should We Choose Secure Storage?

Thieves often target physical businesses, seeking high-value items to steal and sell. Therefore, it is imperative for companies that use many expensive business assets or hold valuable stock to proactively reduce the risk of on-site theft.  

Businesses typically house valuable assets that attract criminal activity, from stock and confidential information to essential tools and machinery. The consequences of theft extend beyond the loss of property; insurance premiums rise, and the absence of essential items or equipment can even halt operations until suitable replacements can be sourced.

Therefore, ensuring the safety and security of your business’s physical assets is essential for its success, as it directly impacts the bottom line and continuity. 

On-Site Security Essentials

On-site security tools, like burglar alarms, safes and lockable filing cabinets, are essential for businesses as they provide a critical line of defence for protecting valuable assets. Safes act as a powerful deterrent to criminals, featuring robust locking mechanisms that are difficult to penetrate. This makes them ideal for storing a wide range of assets, from cash and valuable stock to sensitive documents and confidential data storage.

The secure design of safes, often including features like being made from heavy materials and bolted down into the floor to prevent easy removal, makes them a formidable obstacle for would-be thieves. This forces criminals to resort to time-consuming and noisy attempts to break in, increasing the chances of detection and apprehension.

For businesses, safes and lockable cabinets are a crucial first line of defence. Even if a burglar manages to breach the premises, they face the additional challenge of cracking a safe or breaking open locked cabinets – a task that is far from easy or quick! This added layer of security significantly reduces the risk of theft and protects the business from the financial and operational consequences that follow.

Secure Brackets and Shop, Office or Warehouse Layout Changes for Additional Security

In addition to traditional security measures like alarm systems and high-quality smart door and window locks, simple modifications to your office, shop or warehouse layouts and the use of security straps and brackets can significantly increase the security of your business assets.  

Positioning your most valuable business assets in an area that can be kept separate from the rest of your space with lockable doors can slow down thieves. Thieves often seek easy targets and are deterred by obstacles such as locked internal doors that can prove challenging to open and delay their escape. While CCTV inside and outside your premises is a valuable deterrent, physical barriers offer an additional layer of protection.

One effective method is to secure peripherals like computers with high-quality brackets, making it difficult for thieves to disconnect and remove them quickly. These brackets act as a simple yet effective deterrent. Other practical measures include locking drawers containing valuables or using padlocks and chains to secure specific areas within the premises.

Protect and Securely Store Office Furniture During a Move

Many business owners find themselves scratching their heads about what to do with the often large and bulky amount of office furniture they need to keep safe and out of the way during an office relocation.

In most cases, you will find that certain adjustments and modifications must be made to the infrastructure and layout of your new premises before you can move into your business. You may need to renew the electrical wiring, install more power and data sockets to meet your needs, and thoroughly clean and redecorate the space with your corporate colour scheme—things that are not easily accomplished while the space is full of office furniture.
