Your business’ security system is important. An adequate system can provide many advantages for your business. This includes everything from mitigating damage during a break-in, to aiding your insurance claims, to deterring crime before it even happens.
However, these advantages are only going to be seen if your security system does an adequate job of addressing all of the needs of your property and business. There are a lot of factors to consider and it can be difficult to know you are covering every potential point in your business that’s susceptible to attack.
So how do you ensure your security system covers every aspect of your business? Working with an experienced and knowledgeable security company offers many benefits that help keep your business and your employees safe.
Here’s what you can expect to gain from the assistance of a security consultant.
Outdated Security Plans Can Have Flaws
Many businesses will incorporate a security plan at the very beginning. This generally includes a few more considerations than simply locking the doors at the end of the night. Alarm systems, cameras, and sensors can be implemented in order to protect the business’ employees, stock, and more expensive materials.
However, many business owners don’t think about their security plans after this initial implementation. These systems can often become outdated. This could either mean the technology grows old or the needs of the business change without being addressed by a new security plan.
These outdated systems leave a business vulnerable. A security consultant can be called in to address these deficiencies.

Recognition of Vulnerabilities Creates Opportunities for Improvement
A security consultant will walk your property and analyze both your current system as well as your current needs. An experienced eye will be able to spot potential vulnerabilities that might not be noticeable to those outside of the security industry.
This could include a few different scenarios. Perhaps your original security plan didn’t address all of your needs right from the start. This is unfortunately common. New businesses often need to save money wherever possible in order to make their first few months of operation as profitable as possible.
Another possibility is that the equipment used from the start either grew obsolete or wasn’t sufficient in the first place.
An assessment from a security consultant will lay out all of the opportunities for improvement. This detailed report is incredibly beneficial in creating a proper and complete security system.
Equipment Knowledge Informs Best Practices
You aren’t going to be able to design the best possible security plan without intimate knowledge of all of your options. The capabilities of available technology will dictate the placement of units as well as the amount of coverage you will need.
Industry knowledge means security professionals not only know the best equipment to provide complete security coverage of your property, but also the best way to implement it. These two services go hand-in-hand, and are both essential to creating an effective security plan. One informs the other and an experienced security consultant is the most reliable way to ensure they are working in tandem to your benefit.
Access to Newest Technology
The highest levels of protection can only be provided by using the best technology in the industry. Security consulting combines this with expert placement and adequate coverage to give you multiple layers of protection.
There are unfortunately many potential threats to a business. Not all of them are nefarious in origin. A simple mistake can lead to a catastrophic fire, for instance. An intentional mix of protective technology can cover all these potentially dangerous aspects. Herring Technology offers many different types of protections:
- Access Control Systems
- Fire Detection Systems
- Perimeter Security
- Security Cameras/ HD CCTV Surveillance
- Shooter Detection Systems
Security systems should work together to create a web of coverage.
Cost Analysis
A main concern for businesses when it comes to any expenditure is going to be the cost. It’s simply not feasible for everyone to spend large amounts of money. However, it can be easy to overlook the potential savings these considerations can create for a business.
Security consulting does more than give you an itemized list of security products. Herring Technology provides a detailed report including the cost of implementing a new security system along with the potential for loss should the system not be installed.
This helps provide context for not only the cost of installing an effective security system, but the cost of not installing an effective security system.
