Security alert
Article Abstract:
Businesses should give serious consideration to security issues. Crime figures are rising, delays following property damage or a crime can damage a company's reputation, and there may be problems with insurance if a company does not take adequate security precautions. There are various security systems available, including burglar alarms, closed circuit television and manned guards. However, a business should first make a risk analysis of its premises and activities, including a plan for continuity after an incident. The issues surrounding computer theft and terrorism are also presented.
