Running a small business in BC may have its challenges — and security shouldn’t be one of them. At Hero Security, we help local businesses in Kelowna, West Kelowna, Prince George, and throughout BC identify vulnerabilities and take action to stay protected. Here are five areas to evaluate. Please read our blog and then call the closest office and we will be happy to come onsite and provide you with a quote for regular onsite security patrols.

1. Unsecured Entry Points

Doors, windows, and back entrances are often overlooked. Locked doors alone may not be enough, depending on your area — a professional security audit can identify weak points and recommend reinforced locks, access control panel installations, and foot patrol checks.

2. Poor Lighting

Dark or poorly lit parking lots or alleyways may invite theft and vandalism. Installing adequate lighting and scheduling nighttime security patrols can deter criminals and make your staff and customers feel safer.

3. Lack of Surveillance Monitoring

Cameras are useful, but without active monitoring, incidents may go unnoticed. CCTV – where the footage is stored in the Cloud – doesn’t have to be expensive. Often you can view the premises using a mobile phone application for your peace of mind at any time of the day or night. Then, combined with trained professional security guard patrols, you will greatly increase the likelihood that any threats are detected quickly and they can be addressed immediately.

4. Employee Negligence

Simple mistakes — like leaving doors unlocked, sharing access codes, or mishandling sensitive information — can create vulnerabilities. Hero Security offers staff training and policies to minimize human error.

5. Absence of Emergency Plans

Many small businesses lack protocols for break-ins, fire, or after-hours incidents. Our company Professional can help you create a customized response plan to protect your property, employees, and assets.
