Recent studies show that crime against business makes up 20% of all recorded crime in the UK. As some of us are now working from home again, our business is closed, empty and vulnerable. So how can you keep buildings safe and secure during this period?


Here are some good reminders from CSGUK:



The first step is to identify where you are most vulnerable, this can be done by carrying out a risk assessment of the premises. This is because most burglaries are unplanned and criminals usually look for a lack of preventative measures and procedures. By strengthening doors, fitting locks, shutters, grilles, security lighting, Access Control, CCTV, Intelligent safes or an intruder alarm you can deter burglars.



Secondly, it is also advisable to install signs warning the public that CCTV is in operation. Why? Well, it is a good deterrent but will also help with data protection, should you ever have a situation where you need to provide footage. CCTV can provide vital evidence to the police, or insurance company whilst allowing you to monitor who is accessing your premises. Taking extra measures to secure your premises will help reduce insurance costs too - in fact,

most insurers will ask if your property is covered by CCTV.


Third, you should also ensure that your security systems are being maintained, serviced and checked regularly by site qualified people, they will have polices and procedures that are documented, regularly maintaining your equipment can reduce potential faults and increase the lifespan of your system.



Fourth, It is also worth making sure your staff have received awareness training and are able to identify suspicious behaviour and know how to report it.







And Finally, carrying out a regular stock or inventory audit is a good way to find anomalies before it's too late. Remember, if you do have an incident, involve the police and your insurance company immediately, and ensure any broken entry points are secure as you are more at risk immediately after a break-in or a theft.




So keep your business safe and look out for your community. If you have any concerns or want to check your security, CSGUK offers a free security consultative service where we will happily visit your premises and a perform a complete security check, provide you with an estimate and help define what you need at no obligation.

In a body-conscious society, we are always asking "Does this look OK?", and we all have that one special item that as soon as we put it on we feel amazing. Did you know that there is a piece of equipment that would look good on you but also keep you safe?

CSG UK is proud to supply body-worn cameras! They look good on everybody and like our bodies, body-worn cameras come in all different shapes and sizes and they are light to carry around all-day.

Why you need a body-worn camera

A body-worn camera could be your new best friend! At the touch of a button, it serves as an independent witness, providing transparency of an event in high definition and has internal data storage for keeping the data safe, should you ever need to resolve a dispute quickly and fairly.

keep your staff safe

We know that as soon as a camera comes out, people's behaviour changes. Studies show that when members of the public see the body-worn camera it actually encourages good behaviour, which in turn reduces and prevents incidents and physical confrontation. Body-worn cameras can capture up to 8 hours on a single charge so your staff members wouldn't need to keep taking it off to charge them up.


In March this year, the UK was hit by Covid-19 and whilst most of us were safe at home,

Our retail staff went out to battle. Though the pandemic brought out the good in so many wonderful people, it also brought out the worst. We saw how crazy people behaved in supermarkets even fighting over toilet rolls and abusing and assaulting our retail army. Recent figures from retailers have shown that incidents of assault, threats, intimidation and verbal abuse have climbed by 100% and there have been over 100 incidents related directly to people using Covid-19 as a threat.
