C&M Consulting Services ALL RIGHTS RESERVED WORLDWIDE I have often been asked, “Why should I hire a security consultant to tell me what security measures my business needs?” I guess biggest reason is if you know little to nothing about security, then you need to hire someone that does know ins and outs to get most benefit! There is a lot more than just looking at your doors, windows and locks or alarm systems to figuring out what security measures are need to protect your entire business. The main goal is to look at all your liabilities on security issues and reduce or eliminate them. This saves you time and money in long run and keeps you out of a possible court situation in future. To this end, you need to do a physical site security survey. This will identify most pressing of your security issues that can get you in trouble. By looking at entire company, those issues can be identified, measures to protect you implemented and your liabilities reduced! There are measures that only need to have policies and procedures changed or implemented that will reduce your liabilities. There are other measures that you will need to put in place to protect your hiring process that can save you from a lawsuit. Then there may be other measures that contain a security presence on site or after hours that will protect you. The thing with competent security consultants is, they know what to look for when identifying security issues and they know how to deal with them with cost effective reductions/eliminations. They know what does and does not work for a variety of business types and your particular area of location.
