However, some criminals may attempt to force their way into a site or premises by ramming the fencing perimeter with a vehicle, but a well-designed HVM system can stop them in their tracks. But does your business need one? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/casestudies\/barracks-fencing\/\" title=\"Royal Artillery Barracks secured\">HVM<\/a> systems can help a wide variety of businesses, but it\u2019s important to know if yours is one of them before investing in them. After all, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/products\/hostile-vehicle-mitigation\/\">Hostile Vehicle Mitigation<\/a> can use up a significant percentage of an SME\u2019s security budget. Luckily, there are several questions that you can answer to decide if you need <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/products\/hostile-vehicle-mitigation\/\">HVM<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>1. How isolated are your premises?<\/h2>\n<p>Premises located in towns and other areas with many vehicles are obviously at greater risk of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/defend-your-site\/\" title=\"Four ways to defend your site from a vehicular attack\">vehicular attack<\/a> than more isolated premises. If the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/construction-site-secure-fencing\/\" title=\"Why you need to commit to construction site security\">site you need<\/a> to protect is a customer-facing premise with many roads nearby, you should seriously consider installing an HVM system. However, if the site you need to protect is an isolated warehouse or office that isn\u2019t easily accessible by vehicular means, you might not need <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/products\/hostile-vehicle-mitigation\/\">HVM<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>2. How straight are the roads around your premises?<\/h2>\n<p>Ramming a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/heathrow-perimeter-fencing\/\" title=\"Perimeter fencing is only one part of overall security at Heathrow\">security fencing perimeter<\/a> hard enough to break through requires a good deal of momentum. For criminals to launch a vehicular attack on your property, they need to be able to drive quickly at it in a straight line. If the roads around your premises are straight and are angled directly at your property, you might need an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/casestudies\/olympics-hvm\/\" title=\"HVM from Weymouth to Newcastle\">HVM<\/a> system. However, if they are winding and circuitous, your property may be safe from a vehicular assault.<\/p>\n<h2>3. What is the total value of the items and equipment on your premises?<\/h2>\n<p>Vehicles are expensive. Even the most reckless criminals aren\u2019t likely to risk destroying a car by ramming it through a security <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/fence\/\" title=\"What does your fence say about your business?\">fence<\/a> unless the value of the property they can steal is very high. So if you don\u2019t keep a lot of high-value items on your premises, you may not need <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/products\/hostile-vehicle-mitigation\/\">HVM<\/a> to deter criminals. However, if you have a lot of expensive stock or equipment, you may come under attack from crooks with cars.<\/p>\n<p>If you do need a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/products\/hostile-vehicle-mitigation\/\">Hostile Vehicle Mitigation system<\/a>, we can help. Here at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\">Zaun<\/a>, we offer a wide selection of anti-vehicular security measures. But, of course, if you decide your security budget would be better spent on CCTV, <a data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/our-products\/\">fencing<\/a> and other measures, we can provide these, too.
