Buildings
Security
Ensure that your premises are secure from intruders both during office hours and outside office hours. Develop working practices to ensure that only authorised staff can gain access to your premises with the added security of limiting access to your more secure areas within your premises. Consider security from an internal perspective particularly regarding intellectual theft.
Out of hours security of your premises and intellectual technology should be considered seriously from a speculative theft level such as breaking and entering to steal personal computers to international theft of your company’s products.
Maintenance
Reactive and planned maintenance of your premises will ensure that your Business Continuity Planning arrangements will be improved from sudden disruption caused by poor or non-existent maintenance of your buildings and assets. Burst pipes, surface water flooding, poorly maintained electrical circuits can all add to the risk associated with your premises.
