Handbook of Business Security

Crime directed against business is a serious problem, including theft of property, fraud, embezzlement, burglary, criminal damage, and corruption. This Handbook of Buisness Security is a step-by-step guide to identifying and dealing with the various security problems faced by business.

Crime directed against business is a serious problem, embracing theft of property, fraud, embezzlement, burglary, criminal damage, bribery, corruption, theft of corporate information, plus similar activities whose effects are disruptive and loss making. Whilst larger businesses can afford to employ security specialists to manage these risks for them, the smaller organisation is unlikely to have the same level of access to appropriate skills. This book is intended to increase the awareness among managers of small to medium sized businesses of the security threats to their enterprises. It is in the interest of all managers to tackle the problem of crime, but most find it difficult to identify the appropriate technology and implement sensible controls. This book provides an informed, pragmatic security guide. The handbook is now fully revised to take account of the ever-changing technology involved in business security. With few but the largest businesses able to employ specialists to manage the risks, the book provides step-by-step guidance on identifying and dealing with every kind of crime that can be directed against a company: theft of property or of corporate information, fraud and embezzlement, burglary, criminal damage and even bribery and corruption.
