We understand that organising for your business premises or event to have SIA licensed security guards comes at a cost. We will always ensure our prices are fair and reflect the excellent quality of service we offer, but professional security is an investment and therefore will need to be budgeted for.

Many companies don't realise that the cost of your insurance could be reduced if you invest in manned guarding or mobile patrols around your site. Knowing this could make the difference between contacting us to tailor-make a security contract specifically for you, or paying out expensive premiums and hoping your place of work never becomes a crime scene.

We've put together 3 key reasons why a professional security presence could lower the price of your insurance.

1.A security guard presence acts as a deterrent to crime

This is a key point we mention time and time again. Prevention is always better than a cure, and preventing a break-in or an incident will always be better than dealing with the aftermath. From an insurance point of view, this makes your site a low risk for crime, and low risk means a lower premium.

2.Our security officers can record any incident with their body cameras or monitor CCTV

Should an incident occur, having recorded footage of the event is a hugely valuable asset. It could be used as evidence in a court of law, and this means if you need to claim on your insurance, there will be no doubt as to what damage has occurred -- it will all be caught on film. More so, the presence of CCTV will also act as a deterrent, less so than having manned guarding at your business premises, but still more effective than having no security presence at all. This will reduce the risk of crime and therefore reduce the cost of your insurance.

Every single one of our security guards has a body camera fitted as part of their uniform. We also offer CCTV monitoring as one of our key security services.

3.Every CSS Ltd security guard officer is SIA Licenced

Training is something we take hugely seriously at CSS Ltd, so much so that we have our own purpose built training facility at our head office in Wisbech. We never subcontract our security guards, and all of them are SIA Licenced which demonstrates a high level of standards across the board. If your insurance company understand this, it might reduce your premium even further for you, as it shows you're investing in a quality security company that you know you can trust.

For more information on how our security guards can work with your business to prevent crime at your premises, please don't hesitate to get in touch with a member of our team. We look forward to hearing from you.
