Securing your business with a reliable and experienced security service provider is an important step in safeguarding your workspace.<\/p>\n

As we have mentioned in our previous article, \u201c5 things burglars don\u2019t want you to know for your house security<\/a>\u201d, burglars aren\u2019t afraid to repeatedly rob houses and offices. For example, a burglary case took place in Bandar Damai Perdana, Kuala Lumpur, when two robberies took place at one shop; once on Wednesday and once again on the Saturday of that same week, only 4 days after the first incident. CCTV footage of the incident has gone viral since. (Source: Help, businessman appeals to cops, after store robbed 4 times in 7 months | Free Malaysia Today (FMT)<\/a>)<\/p>\n

This incident caused great distress to the business owner, both monetarily and emotionally. Reliable security systems and security options can help business owners avoid such incidents. These options should be provided by dependable security providers, who can help you monitor your business premises around-the-clock.<\/p>\n

Choosing a dependable security system as well as a service provider amidst a wide array of security options out there can be stressful for businesses of every size and security need. We hope this article will help you choose a business security provider that provides value-for-money security services for your security needs.<\/p>\n

It is recommended to follow these criteria in choosing a security system and provider, based on your needs and priorities.<\/p>\n

1. Reputation, credibility, and reliability<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Without a doubt, one of the first few main criteria needed in choosing a security supplier to protect your business is reputation, credibility, and reliability.<\/p>\n

Any security system that is provided by a supplier who is not credible or is fraudulent could put your entire business in danger. Such incidents might even cost your business a fortune in the future. Do your research to ensure that you do not select a business security supplier who provides promises that are too good to be true.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Most importantly, choose a security provider who provides a team of experts at your disposal. Be wary of con men and fake businesses with their too-good-to-be-true expertise.<\/p>\n

Purchase of security accessories or devices from suppliers with no expertise or support services could incur further problems and put your business at risk in times of breakdown or malfunctions.

3. Flexibility<\/h3>\n

A security provider that provides security services with high flexibility is ideal in meeting your business security needs.<\/p>\n

If you were to choose a security supplier who only offers one business security option, such as the access control system, then you would need to contact another supplier for other security systems, such as CCTV camera systems, to further enhance and complete your security system. Hence, it is encouraged to go with a security provider that provides various and integrated security systems, devices, and accessories to fully equip your business premise and security needs.<\/p>\n

At SECOM Smart Malaysia, we offer highly flexible security services that could be customized to a wide range of property types. Our panic button and in-panic app, complement our vibration sensors through early detection of impact to windows or glass through our vibration sensors, confirmation on live feed of our Wi-Fi CCTV cameras and alerting respective authorities for emergency support through the panic button feature.<\/p>\n

Our devices, especially our Wi-Fi CCTV cameras, are also linked to our SECOM Smart Security app, through which you can remotely monitor your business property with while you are away, or in the case of our alarm sensors, receive notifications of any detected movement when the sensors and system have already been armed via key fob or Smart Security app.<\/p>\n

Our business security packages also come with a variety of different loadouts of security devices and services for every individual\u2019s respective property type and circumstance. For example, if you own a small local business in your neighborhood, such as a kedai kopi or local grocery store, a package that provides only Wi-Fi CCTV Cameras can provide sufficient security coverage and can deter vandalism and burglary. If you own a larger business property, such as a supermarket, our larger packages can offer more options, including cameras, vibration sensors, motion sensors and outdoor sirens, so that you can secure doorways and critical areas in and around your business premises.

4. Cost<\/h3>\n

One of the most focused on factors in choosing a security service provider is cost.<\/p>\n

Affordable security systems and security services are always ideal for every consumer. Purchasing or choosing a security system that fits your security needs should be priced accurately, according to the service and expectations on deliverables. There are no free lunches in the world; therefore, do not fall victim to scams that appear to be too good to be true.<\/p>\n

Security service providers who can provide genuine cost-efficient and time-saving features and services\u00a0 can help you save on spending on physical security measures, should you lack sufficient manpower and funds to hire personnel to physically monitor your business\u2019 premises. According to the analysis of Tradingecomomics.com, wages in Malaysia increased to 3037 MYR\/Month in 2021 from 2933 MYR\/Month in 2020. The method of introducing a reliable security system to reduce the work burden of your security personnel, especially for night shift, is being adopted by more and more business owners, as a measure to reduce labor cost and improve the quality of security operations.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

SECOM Smart Malaysia provides packages and services that you can invest in, to avoid long-term costs or losses in the unforeseeable future. Making such an investment will not only pay off financially but will also bring greater returns to your business and employees in the long run. More specifically, we offer several security packages that you can select from based on your security needs and budget, as well as additional features that can be of assistance in securing your interests.<\/p>\n

For example, for a small local office, a Biz 1 Business Security Package, which includes various alarm sensors, could be a suitable choice. On the other hand, if you are responsible for a larger business enterprise, such as a supermarket, then you could invest in a more comprehensive business-security package that will help prevent thefts and break-ins from multiple areas of your large property, through a variety of devices and services.<\/p>\n

You could also make use of our SECOM Smart Security app, which comes at no additional cost, to manage your business\u2019 security system and devices and remotely monitor the premises.

With these insurances and services, you should be able to enjoy peace of mind for your physical security and financial security.<\/p>\n

5. Quality<\/h3>\n

Quality does not only refer to security systems and devices, but also on the services provided by security providers. The quality of security system and security options should be resilient and sturdy, and the same can be said for the quality of the services, such as after sales service, in ensuring the customer\u2019s business security system is up and running smoothly. Accessibility to after sales support is an important factor in deciding the right business security provider for your business security needs.<\/p>\n
