Security breaches can cause serious operational disruptions and create a sense of insecurity among employees. That’s why every year, we help thousands of businesses worldwide assess their security risks and provide advice to prevent them. Discover our global data, the most significant risks, and the ways to avoid them.
Security begins with a risk assessment
To better protect your business, it’s essential to understand and evaluate your risks. At Protectas, we conduct risk assessments for hundreds of clients across Europe every year using our risk assessment tool. This tool allows us to examine your business with you and discuss various potential risk scenarios. It provides a comprehensive understanding of your security needs.
Risk assessments can reveal weaknesses in your security setup, such as blocked emergency exits or gaps in fences, but also opportunities for improvement, like better access control or enhanced fire protection.
The five biggest security risks
Based on data collected from various industries, we’ve identified the five most common security risks during our assessments. You might recognize some of these risks in your own business:
- Burglary
- Theft
- Robbery
- Vandalism
- Fire
These risks aren’t surprising—they affect most businesses and are widely understood. However, beyond their frequency, they all share a common factor: they can have significant consequences for your company.
The most common solutions
Access control systems and video surveillance are widely used across industries to combat these five major risks. These solutions are increasingly integrated. For example, digital surveillance cameras can recognize individuals or license plates, granting or denying access accordingly. Additionally, remote video monitoring allows for rapid responses to any security breaches.
