External Threats

As soon as you open to the public this leaves your retail establishment exposed to several threats such as shoplifting, robbery, arson and assault. These are all linked and associated with organised crime.

Internal Threats

It is pivotal to build and maintain trust and a good working relationship with your staff. Over time this dynamic can be broken down and becomes vulnerable. Staff have access to stock, know your business processes and sensitive shop information leaving you vulnerable to fraudulent activity and theft. This is imperative that retailers safeguard themselves from this happening.
