As the old saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. This very principal applies to doing a security audit for your facility. It is an essential step to take in order to discover if and where you have any weak points in your security system, and it can show you exactly what you need to do next in order to address them, such as installing a high security fence.
When should I perform a security audit?
Too often, we only realize we’re in need of something when it’s too late to do anything about it. Don’t wait for crime to come to you; security audits should happen early and often in order to ensure the safety of your facility. While a security audit after a crime is committed could help you target a specific area, it is better to know beforehand where you’re most vulnerable.
What should I be looking for?
Look for spots where intruders might be likely to enter, particularly where landscaping might give them an opportunity to hide before going on to the property. Make sure entrances to buildings are either secured or physically guarded at all times, and that security cameras have a clear view of the entire property.
What do I do if I discover a security risk?
The measures you take to address a security risk depend on what exactly that risk is, but for most security risks on the grounds of a property, installing a High Security Fence can be the most logical move. High Security Fences come in a variety of designs that incorporate both functionality and aesthetic appeal in order to create the ideal solution for your property’s needs. HF High Security offers many different High Security Fence models, including Anti-Climb fences, Non-Climb fences, and Impasse fences with either Stronghold, Gauntlet, or Trident tops designed to keep out any and all intruders. Chain link or barred, these High Security Fences are the best way to give you peace of mind and ensure that your facility is kept safe.
Performing routine security audits is what you can do for your facility or property.
