In managing security officers, as with consulting for clients looking for them, one question is always the first asked. What will be the cost? So often in our industry my clients seek security services based on the lowest bid without considering service quality and therefore customer service. Ours is a big industry, full of liabilities yet so many of my clients continue to insist on quantum as the defining consideration when engaging a manpower service. My response whenever this conversation comes up, I ask what will you be expecting from this service?

If, for instance, my client exists in a low risk environment, perhaps an industry with few criticalities and vulnerabilities as well as little in terms of human or high value assets that require protection then I recommend they consider price as the most significant factor when assessing a tender. Most of my clients have a poor understanding of the security environment their business or enterprise exists in. Many spend the bare minimum on security without any real thought to the value of quality equipment and how a properly trained and inducted manpower service can benefit the resilience of a business. The truth is that many businesses tend to have a poor understanding of risk and adopt the lowest security overheads they can get away with. This is a perennial problem and is more acute in those countries where the industry is not regulated at Government level.

I often remind clients 1) When a visitor arrives the first person that meets them will be your security and 2) It is this first impression or moment of truth that gives the visitor a lasting impression and then with this in mind and 3) Most importantly considering a low bid for manpower services is fine, but this does not mean the cheapest bid ought be accepted. Many businesses won’t spend money on security unless something happens. Such behaviour albeit short sighted, is often because security is ‘non-revenue generating’. Notwithstanding of course that it is security that so often protects the business from losses, whilst ensuring the safety of staff and clients, as well as ensuring the integrity of IP and reputation.

Security of home and business houses are important to stop the intruders from forcefully breaking into your property. Burglary or any other similar event not only allows burglars to rob your property resulting in heavy financial losses but it is also responsible for leaving behind a mental trauma tough to be forgotten for a long time. It is a matter of great concern that even locked houses are highly susceptible to a forceful entry by intruders.

Securing your house is a multifaceted process wherein you are required to pay proper attention to each and every aspect related to the security of your house. Ignoring even a single point could result in a loophole that could be exploited by intruders to gain forceful entry into your property. There is a difference between using locks and using good secure locks. The basic motive behind any locking system is security and if that basic objective is not met then there is no benefit in putting locks.

Identifying the doors, windows and any other point of entry into your house is the first step towards a better security system. Next step is to get secure certified locks so that even in case of a forceful entry, you could claim proper compensation from the insurance companies. Since, the installation of these locks have a strong impact in securing our property, the services of a professional locksmith to install the locks properly at the right places is equally important for a better security.

Security doors, by their very nature, should provide security and peace of mind. Most do just that, but don't be fooled by the appearance of security. A door can look as strong and robust as anything you might imagine, but still not have the qualities it needs to properly deter intruders.

When you put the safety and security of your family and loved ones in the hands of a set of security doors, they had better be good. Most people don't know what to look for, or the right pertinent questions to ask. True peace of mind comes from knowing that your security doors will stand up to whatever gets thrown at them.

What material will the security doors be made from? (more...)
