FAQ: Security Systems and Equipment
What are security systems?
Security systems protect and monitor buildings, assets and people to prevent and alert on risks to an organisation’s estate.
There are a wide variety of security measures available, including alarms, CCTV, access control, physical barriers and personal protection.
Why do I need a security system?
Security systems are vital for keeping people, buildings, assets and equipment safe.
Many organisations are at risk of theft, damage, and other criminal activities. A security system acts as both a deterrent and an alert for these events. In some cases, security systems may be necessary to comply with legislation, industry standards or insurance requirements.
Who is responsible for security systems and equipment?
Everyone can play their part in taking responsibility for security, but sometimes we need a little extra help and additional peace of mind. If you’re a business owner, it’s your responsibility to protect your employees and take appropriate measures to protect your properties and assets by meeting the relevant British Standards in addition to your insurance requirements.
Who is responsible can differ from business to business and from system to system. Sometimes it’s a collective effort and sometimes the responsibility sits solely with the owner.
