A business\u2019s defensible assets can generally be divided into four categories: premises, hardware, stock and data. Here at Zaun, we understand that protecting each type of asset presents unique challenges. That\u2019s why we\u2019d like to discuss how to defend each one in today\u2019s <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blogs\/\"  title=\"blog\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">blog<\/a> effectively.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Premises<\/h2>\n<p>Your premises must be defended from intruders and disruptive influences for your business or organisation to function smoothly. As we\u2019ve discussed in many previous blogs, different <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/security-threat\/\" title=\"The three types of security threat\">types of premises require different security<\/a> measures. In general, however, a premise requires <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/high-security-fencing-issues\/\" title=\"Welded mesh fencing &#8211; the solution to prison and high security fencing issues\">security fencing<\/a> that either surrounds it or blocks access from certain directions, ensuring everyone who enters the premises has to use a controlled, authorised access point. We also recommend using CCTV cameras and alarm systems alongside any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/high-end-security\/\" title=\"Protecting high-end businesses with high-end security\">security measures specific to your type of business<\/a> or organisation. Remember, the key to defending your premises is establishing a <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/products\/perimeter-fencing\/\"  title=\"perimeter\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">perimeter<\/a> and ensuring that no unauthorised individuals can pass it.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Hardware<\/h2>\n<p>Office equipment, industrial equipment, computers and other items that you might need to run your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/think-like-an-intruder\/\" title=\"Think Like an Intruder &#8211; Protect your business effectively\">business or organisation need to be protected<\/a> from thieves. If they are stored on-site or on your premises, the defence measures described in point 1 can help protect them. However, you should also ensure that smaller items are kept in locked rooms, drawers or safes to prevent them from being stolen during operating hours. Heavier pieces of hardware that have to be kept outside or in larger, more open spaces should be stored in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/mesh-storage-cage\/\" title=\"Uses for a mesh storage cage\">mesh cages<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Stock<\/h2>\n<p>If your business or organisation deals in physical products, it\u2019s important to keep your stock as safe as possible. Large quantities of saleable items should be stored in warehouses that aren\u2019t near your storefronts. Most petty thieves won\u2019t go out of their way to target warehouses. What\u2019s more, you can deploy additional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/securing-office-buildings\/\" title=\"A practical guide to securing office buildings\">security measures at warehouses that aren\u2019t practical<\/a> for defending public-facing premises. Stock kept in your main premises, or a store should be packed away in locked, alarmed storage rooms overnight if possible.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Data<\/h2>\n<p>Most modern businesses are dependent on sensitive digital information. You should follow our above advice for protecting hardware against external or internal threats, as well as CCTV if necessary to deter the unlawful use of certain technology and equipment such as computers and servers. However, you can also protect your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/dangers-to-data-centre-security\/\" title=\"What are the key dangers to data centre security?\">data<\/a> using encryption and by backing up all your information to the cloud.<\/p>\n<p>By utilising the right <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/products\/security-mesh-fencing\/\">security<\/a> measures for every type of asset in your business, you can minimise risk and ensure that your business isn\u2019t disrupted by thieves, vandals and other intruders. We offer a wide range of security products that can help defend all your assets, so contact <a data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/\">Zaun<\/a> today for more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All large businesses and organisations are dependent on multiple different assets, all of which must be carefully secured and protected.
