The threats to a warehouse can depend on its location, size, and the types of goods being stored. However, it also depends on the security measures in place.
Common threats which warehouses face include the theft of valuable goods, making them attractive targets for burglaries and theft. Intruders may break in to steal products or equipment, either for personal use or to resell on the black market.
Another problem is vandals, who can cause damage to your property or equipment. With the right protection, this can disrupt your operations and cause significant financial losses.
The best physical security solutions for warehouses.
Access control systems and perimeter security are indispensable for these types of spaces. Unauthorised individuals gaining access to the warehouse premises can pose a security threat. This could include trespassers, former employees, or individuals posing as delivery personnel.
CCTV can also prevent thefts from inside and outside your organisation. Theft of products is not the only problem. Warehouses storing branded goods or products with intellectual property may be targeted by counterfeiters looking to produce and distribute fake goods.
However, companies also need to be wary of insider threats. Employees or contractors with access to your warehouse facilities may pose a security risk. Without the right measures in place you could be vulnerable to theft, sabotage, or negligence leading to security breaches.

Another reason to have the right security measures in place is the threat of natural disasters.
