Why Your Business Can’t Afford to Not Have a Security Budget

If you think your business can do without a security budget, think again. 

When it comes down to structuring an annual budget, security isn’t always a key consideration. It’s only until a loss occurs that business owners realize the importance of securing their assets.

Having a security budget in place makes it easier to bounce back from negative experiences that could affect the future of your business and your brand’s reputation. From theft and data breaches to situations that endanger the lives of employees, security should always be a consideration.

If you need more convincing, here are some specifics to consider.

Why a Business Security Budget is Must

  • Secure Your Most Important Assets

Having a security budget in place ensures your assets are secure, even if it’s only your most important assets. Once you start evaluating what you potentially want to secure, inherent security flaws start becoming more obvious. This is an excellent exercise for any business. It gives you the opportunity to pinpoint any security flaws that have been overlooked until now. Once you have a security budget in place, you may need to prioritize what you want to secure first, keeping in mind that quality locks and security systems are a better long-term investment.

  • Eliminate Unnecessary Costs

In the long run, having a security budget saves money. When you take the time to allocate money to specific security measures, you reduce the chances of wasting money on expenses that aren’t in the best interest of your business. As an added bonus, the more secure your business is, the lower your insurance premiums will be.

  • Plan for Emergencies

Emergencies aren’t inevitable but they are a possibility. By setting aside a budget and resources to cater to emergency situations, you minimize any business downtime. Whether this is a natural disaster or theft and vandalism, an emergency fund gets your business back on its feet sooner.

  • Leaves Room for Expansion

Even if your security budget isn’t massive right now, it’s important to at least have some basics in place. Once your most important assets and rooms are secure, there’s room to upgrade and improve security going forward. It’s much more affordable to upgrade and add on to existing systems. What’s more, going through the exercise of developing a security budget gives you an idea of the costs you can expect going forward.

Developing a Business Security Budget – What’s Next?

The best way to start developing a security budget that meets the needs of your business is to arrange for an audit.

At Quickly Locksmith, we’ve helped countless Miami businesses with security audits to make it easier to develop a security budget that meets their specific requirements. It’s very easy to miss security flaws when you don’t know what to look for.

Following a security audit, you will understand exactly what’s essential and what can be put off to a later date.

Along with considering physical security measures such as surveillance, commercial door locks, and access control, business owners should keep cybersecurity measures in mind too.

Both physical and cybersecurity is tied to the overall success of your business. In fact, many of these security measures are interlinked. Your servers might be secure, but just how secure is the server room? A security audit helps highlight these key considerations.

If you need assistance with a business security audit, contact us and one of our locksmiths will meet you at your premises.

    Our Tips For Getting The Best Locksmith Services In Miami FL:

    We truly care about your security. Keeping you, your family and your most valuable possessions safe is why we are in business. However, whenever you are looking to hire a residential locksmith service, here are some valuable tips to make the right choice.

    FAQ

    HOW DO I KNOW WHETHER MY MIAMI LOCKSMITH IS CERTIFIED?
    When a Miami locksmith completes their official application process, they are issued with a Locksmith ID car. Locksmiths in Miami are required to display this card at all times when performing any services, regardless of the location.
    HOW LONG WILL A LOCKSMITH TAKE TO ARRIVE?
    When you’re working with the Quickly Locksmith Miami team, you can expect someone to arrive at your exact location within 15 minutes. This ensures we can get you back into your home or car as soon as possible.
    WHAT DOES A CERTIFICATION GUARANTEE?
    Your certified Miami locksmith’s work comes with a complete warranty for your locks, your property (doors/ hallways, etc.), and of course your well-being. If anything happens you share no liability, and your locks & security systems are 100% insured.
    CAN A MIAMI LOCKSMITH OPEN ALL LOCKS?
    A locksmith that has the right tools and years of experience can open almost any lock. If that’s not an option, the lock can always be replaced. Either way, your home and valuables will be safe and secure.
    CAN AN AUTO LOCKSMITH CREATE A SPARE KEY AT MY LOCATION?
    When you are locked out of your car, the last thing you want to do is arrange a ride to a locksmith shop. The Quickly Locksmith Miami mobile unit will not only meet you at your location but also help you with a replacement car key on the spot.
    DO I NEED THE ORIGINAL KEY TO MAKE A KEY COPY?
    Not necessarily. If your original key has been lost or is damaged, a Miami locksmith can use a code cutter to identify the depth of grooves in a lock’s key code. This information can then be used to create a new key.
