Do you have good loss prevention policies in your business? A business can become a victim of theft, data leakage and so much more. Depending on the nature of your business, loss can mean many different things. Many businesses mostly focus on how to improve their profits. However, it is every business’s due diligence to take the time to discover their weakness and what they have to loose. Advanced Private Investigator & Security of Miami, FL will cover Loss Prevention and how due diligence can help protect and even save your business.
What Does Loss Prevention Mean?
Loss Prevention is a form of service that a private investigation service provides to mostly businesses or companies. A private investigator will dive into the company or business and access the business’s physical goods, money, and valued data. By accessing the business valuables, they can create policies or strategies to help prevent the loss of these valuables. Not only can a private investigator help in preventing the loss of valuables but if loss has already occurred, they can investigate and track down the culprit. Below are some of the common situations that an investigator encounters, but not limited are:
• Corporate Fraud
• Employee Theft or Internal Theft
• Employee Tacking Liberties with Discounts or Free Valuables
• Skimming
• Embezzlement
• Shoplifting
• Check and or Credit Fraud
What are Loss Prevention Strategies?
Many companies or businesses will have some type of policy in place to help prevent loss. Often the owner themselves or an executive will develop the policy to help protect the business. However, to ensure proper loss prevention, a company needs to set up a risk management and or corporate security that is only dedicated to loss prevention. A company doesn’t always need to create their own dedicated risk management or corporate security department. They can also outsource it to those who specialize in loss prevention. A private investigation service is trained in preventing loss and if it occurs they can also investigate the matter and bring forth the needed evidence to bring justice to the crime.
How Do You Create a Loss Prevention Program?
Developing a loss prevention strategy will be different for each business. As the nature of the business will vary, some will focus on the loss prevention policy. For example a retail center’s greatest threat is shoplifting or cash theft. On the other hand, a bank not only has cash that needs safeguarding, but they also need to secure their data. Various offices have data as well as expensive computers and other equipment that may be stolen. An investigator will look at every aspect of “value” and develop ways to help protect them. Security, is another major area that demands proper attention. With proper security, the business valuables can be better protected which also includes the company’s employees. At times the employee is the business’s greatest asset that also requires protection. A well-developed security system is essential and is part of a loss prevention service.
