Protection Devices. Do they Really Protect?

You set the security alarm every night on your way home. You double-check the window locks and turn the deadbolt on the back door. You place your cash and valuables in the safe. Before turning out the lights, you start the backup routine on your computer. Congratulations! All of these steps help minimize your chance of loss and make you a more effective risk manager. But how do you know that these devices are working properly?

For example, although you're performing regular backups to your computer, do you double-check to be certain the data is actually there? One systems administrator ran her backup routine every night, only to discover at the time of a systems crash that all backup files for the past six months were blank, due to a hardware malfunction. Have you tested your security alarm lately to make sure that it actually alerts the police or fire department? Are you sure that your safe locks completely when the door is closed? If your employees sometimes close up at night, do they have a checklist that covers every step in the process?

Making your protection devices work as hard as you do is just one of our services. Although many agencies can sell you insurance, we do far more than this. We can help minimize your losses by implementing a comprehensive and effective risk management program that supplements your insurance by providing a "safety net "to catch you. Our philosophy is clear: The best claim is the one that never happens.
