As an individual’s success, responsibility, and wealth grow, so does their profile. With an increased profile comes a higher level of concern for their own safety, that of loved ones, their reputation, and privacy. This means greater emphasis on security. In an increasingly dangerous and unpredictable world, company executives and their workforce are exposed to escalating levels of risk. Your business also has a duty of care and a commensurate liability at law to protect staff adequately. Are you doing enough to protect them? With the assistance of Discreet Protection, you can meet these requirements.
For security to work effectively, there must be a balance between people, procedures, technology and physical security. Too often, people invest too deeply in just one element of security, while a harmonious combination of all these aspects will be more efficient and cheaper. Carefully coordinating all four elements creates effective security that is blended with business and families’ needs.
In our experience, technology is relied on too much, with little consideration given to the other three legs of a balanced solution. Standard alarm systems, for example, can be a general deterrent, but they do little to hinder a determined criminal. Similarly, a sophisticated alarm system not supported by well-trained personnel employing trusted operating procedures is questionable. If an emergency response takes 10 minutes or more, there is plenty of time for a villain to enter, commit his crime, and escape unhindered. Similarly, high-definition CCTV cameras might record excellent images of masked intruders, but they won’t stop the crime if no one is watching the monitor and prepared to react and intervene vigorously.
Threats to you, your company, and your assets may come from various directions. If these attacks are successful, there won’t just be significant financial loss; there could also be physical harm, damage to reputation, and loss of confidence in your business. Whilst the initial response is your responsibility, you can be much better prepared and poised by advice and training specifically tailored to your needs.
