Criminals can get in through the strangest places, so the fewer ways there are for them to get in, the better. It is important for your security company to do a security audit that is up-to-date so that they can help you find weak spots in your physical environment. This is especially important if your business is in a shopping mall or a building where people share the entrance. Make sure to turn on the lights at all entrances, including the roof. Burglars hide in shadows, but good lighting gets rid of them. Think about getting lights with motion sensors or floodlights, and leave the lights on inside just like you would at home. You'll want to make sure your customers are safe as they walk to their cars, so make sure there are enough lights and CCTV cameras. If you need to, make sure there are more security patrols over the holidays. When everyone is on vacation, boxes and other packing materials may pile up, which could start a fire. Remind the workers to keep the exits clear.
