July 1, 20243 Ways Your Small Business In Charleston Can Level Up Its Security This Year

Often faced with smaller budgets, small businesses face difficult decisions on where best to allocate budgets.
Small business security may seem like an afterthought, it’s something that may be especially important now with the rise of small business theft in recent years.
Sometimes the cost of theft can outweigh what it would take to prevent it.
That said, here are some things you can add to your small business security checklist in 2024.
1. Reinforce Physical Security
Physical security can sometimes be the first layer of protection for both homes & businesses.
Deadbolts, window locks, heavy duty door handles and heavy duty cash registers are just a few things you can take a look at and upgrade if you feel uncomfortable with their level of protection.
2. Install A Security System (Professionally)
Coming from a local security system company in the Lowcountry, you can almost bet that I’ll recommend installing a wireless security system.
Forming the bedrock of your electronic security, your security system will come with a keypad, window/door sensors, motion detectors, as well as a keyfob/panic button and any extras your security team might recommend.
3. Setup Alarm Monitoring Service
After installing an alarm system you’ll want to make sure to set up an alarm monitoring service to help you keep track of things while you’re away.
Most modern alarm monitoring services, like Alarm.com offer a mobile app that will allow you to monitor, arm, disarm and process any other important functions, wherever you can connect to the internet on your phone.
4. (Bonus) Add Cameras & Access Control To Really Level Up
If you really want to level up your security game, adding security cameras and an access control system are great options.
Not only would you be able to monitor your security system, but you’ll also be able to watch your cameras and grant/deny access to your business through your mobile device.
Stating some ways to level up your small business security is one thing — proactively doing it is another.
We hope this list can get you started in securing your small business this year in the Lowcountry.
