Security challenges and solutions

2. Understanding the security challenges Before we commence our deep dive into the intricacies of each site-specific security sector, we want to share an interesting piece of research. According to the 2020 State of Safety survey conducted by Safewise, a burglary happens once every 26 seconds on average. In fact, 62% of the respondents named break-in as their top property crime worry. Despite that high level of concern, only 24% of Americans have a home security system, like security surveillance, to protect their property from burglary.

3. What exactly are the challenges faced by the businesses that are responsible for the health of citizens, storing goods, constructing buildings or educating people?

4. Healthcare Last year, healthcare organizations were repeatedly put to the test when disease outbreaks and riots ravaged the world. Such events can put the safety of staff and patients at risk even further, making it critical for security providers to ensure that these places of ‘healing’ do not turn into spaces where lives are endangered.

5. Threats in Healthcare Patient safety Intrusion Violence or injury 3 2 1 As the past year has clearly illustrated, physical guards may no longer be sufficient when it comes to protecting property and people in today’s day and age. Live monitoring is a potential solution that can help healthcare providers keep an additional eye on such patients. There are certain sensitive rooms and areas in hospitals that are not for general public access. Only certified personnel and authorities can have access to the enclosed space. Voice down capability is a great way to deter intrusion within hospitals or clinics - even before the crime occurs. Even after zero-tolerance policies enacted by a majority of hospitals and other healthcare institutions, people still encounter physical, verbal and psychological violence. Remote security providers can help security agencies and healthcare institutions stay vigilant and monitor spaces to prevent violent crimes.

6. Campus In January 2021, President Joe Biden used his executive powers to direct the Departments of Education and Health and Human Services to reopen educational campuses. Both schools and colleges can be kept safe using gatehouse monitoring, video surveillance as well as ticket escalations to on-ground law enforcement.

7. Threats in Campuses Vandalism and intrusion Harassment Safety guidelines 3 2 1 Regardless of whether the property is defaced intentionally or by mistake, this is a loss that the institution has to bear. Voice down protocols can help prevent a crime even before it happens by helping inadvertent intruders get off the property before any damage occurs. Acts such as bullying, name-calling, physical battery and even sexual assault are serious crimes. In cases where the victim does muster up the courage to speak up after an incident has occurred, video footage retrieval can be a useful tool in helping authorities identify and interrogate perpetrators. The reopening of campuses does not mean the cessation of the pandemic. People are tired of staying indoors, jaded by the uncertainty of when things will go back to normal. Remote guarding is one way to keep tabs on large campuses to ensure adherence to safety guidelines both indoors and outdoors.

8. Warehouse Without CCTV surveillance, these facilities will be dealing with theft, vandalism and intrusion all by themselves. Until the general public is vaccinated, vaccines will continue to be at high risk for damage and theft. Warehouses are unique spaces with a unique set of security challenges.

9. Threats in Warehouses Access control Intrusion Inventory protection 3 2 1 Warehouse facilities, irrespective of the size of their property, are prone to break-ins. Access control is important to prevent the general public from vandalizing. The warehouse owners may fail to notice that manned guards are not sufficient. The need is for physical evidence backed by irrefutable evidence. Warehouses often entail vast pieces of land that may have multiple gates for entry and exit. This vastness, though necessary, can also be leveraged for criminal activity. Can the human guards keep an eye on the property and have the ability to inform the law enforcement, even if a misadventure was to occur? Manufacturers rarely have control over whether their goods are safe at a warehouse or not. Without full visibility of the inventory, many goods at a warehouse will be prone to theft and vandalism. Suppliers and manufacturers in the warehouse management to safeguard their products.

10. Construction site Construction sites are constantly laden with high-value plants and materials. It is continuously growing in value as the project is building. Sensitive plants, fuel and costly materials are the main assets at risk through theft, while vandalism, attacks on workers, arson and security breaches of temporary site buildings are also genuine hazards.

11. Threats in Construction sites Vandalism Theft Loss Liability 3 2 1 Vandalism is widespread on construction sites and is carried out by people who want to cause unnecessary damage and destruction. Some people, who are against the construction, may also choose violence. A remote guarding team will ensure your safety and provide strong evidence against vandalism. Some human-raccoons can take advantage of the scarce security measures resulting in the theft of plant, fuel and materials from the site. They might even steal personal possessions from the construction workers. 24x7 video surveillance keeps an eye out for crimes and warns the authority right there and then. Curious trespassers often compromise their safety by walking on these sites. Being liable for such incidents may prove to be a considerable disadvantage to the construction companies and they can find themselves liable for accidents. Access control measures and live monitoring prevent such mishaps.
