Just like how a lock keeps your home safe, a strong Physical Security strategy acts like the lock on a business’s front door.
A Physical Security strategy is essential because it safeguards your business from threats like theft, vandalism, and unauthorised access. This is especially true for businesses, including government organisations and schools, where technology is central to daily operations.
According to the State of Physical Security Entering 2024 report from Pro-Vigil, approximately 25% of respondents saw an increase in physical security incidents in 2023. Shockingly, 32% of the affected businesses experienced project delays due to these incidents, and 30% reported damage to their assets. These statistics underline the tangible impact of inadequate physical security measures on businesses' overall operational efficiency and integrity.
By implementing robust physical security measures, businesses mitigate the risk highlighted in the report and create a solid foundation for protecting their data and employees against real-world risks. Having a strategy in place ensures a secure environment, fostering a resilient and sustainable business operation.

With an impressive +/- 30 (60 total) degree viewing angle, users can maintain optimal image clarity while ensuring the confidentiality of information.
