Partially empty offices can be fertile ground for theft

Half-empty offices due to the pandemic may provide an advantage to “creepers.” These thieves typically gain access to a company’s physical facilities via unlocked doors and social engineering tactics. Once in, they steal proprietary information, inventory, computers and personal property. You can prevent theft by installing security cameras, keeping doors locked at all times, issuing photo badges to employees and educating workers about the risks. In particular, warn employees not to leave purses, wallets, phones and other valuables unsecured on or in their desks. Contact us for help preventing fraud and other theft.
