Security Gaps You Didn’t Know You Had — And How We Fill Them

When most businesses think of security, they think of cameras, locks, and maybe a security guard or two. But the reality is that many critical vulnerabilities fly under the radar — until it’s too late. At Herne’s Security, we make it our mission to identify and fill those hidden security gaps before they become costly problems.

Here are some of the most common (and often overlooked) weak points in your security — and how we help address them.

1. Unsecured Entry Points After-Hours

The Gap: Staff entrances, delivery docks, and even side gates are often forgotten during close-down procedures. These overlooked access points are prime targets for break-ins.

How We Fill It: Our mobile patrol teams conduct lockup services and post-hours checks to ensure all access points are secure — not just the front door.

2. Blind Spots in Camera Coverage

The Gap: Surveillance systems may look comprehensive on paper, but blind spots can leave areas of your property vulnerable — especially car parks, rear doors, and internal hallways.

How We Fill It: We can advise on repositioning, upgrading, or supplementing cameras as needed, and even provide professional monitoring services.

3. Lack of Visible Security Presence

The Gap: Criminals often target locations with little or no active deterrent. An invisible or irregular security presence gives the impression of an easy target.

How We Fill It: We provide highly visible mobile patrols, static guards, and branded vehicles to serve as a strong physical and psychological deterrent to would-be offenders.

4. Assumptions About “Safe” Times

The Gap: It’s easy to assume that daytime hours, holidays, or quiet seasons don’t require heightened security. Unfortunately, these times can actually increase your risk.

How We Fill It: We offer scalable services tailored to specific needs — including event security, seasonal patrols, and public holiday coverage — ensuring you’re protected around the clock.

5. Overworked Staff Managing Security Duties

The Gap: Asking your staff to open or close premises, monitor cameras, or respond to incidents puts unnecessary pressure on them and increases liability.

How We Fill It: We take the burden off your team. From key-holding and lockup services to alarm response and guard presence, we provide professional, reliable solutions so your staff can focus on their jobs — safely.

Security is more than a checklist — it’s a living, evolving system that needs to adapt to changing threats, times, and operations. At Herne’s Security, we’re experts in spotting what others miss and delivering practical solutions that keep your people, property, and peace of mind protected.
