Your business continuity strategy should include planning for risk mitigation, crisis response and recovery of operations. One of the most critical elements of any organization is your physical security. Typically, a facility or campus relies on a central monitoring station to maintain oversight of video surveillance cameras and other vital security systems.

For this reason, while any interruption in business operations is damaging, losing your central station can be devastating. The central station is a key element of your overall physical security program, and so its continuous operation is essential to the safety and security of your business.

One of the best strategies for ensuring business continuity in the event of a disaster is to implement redundancy. For your security monitoring center, it is essential to work with a provider who maintains two robust geo-diverse locations. The facilities should provide full redundancy of all services for complete uninterrupted security even in the event of a disaster.

The best security monitoring center should offer two separate central command centers located in different areas of the country. Each of these centers should be outfitted with dual generators, to ensure full, immediate emergency recovery and backup. Each should also provide 24-hour, 365-day continuous supervision. This way, there will be no downtime of monitoring in a snowstorm, power failure or other disaster.

Interruptions to business operations can also be caused by other circumstances. Excessive moisture, extreme low or high temperatures, CO2 and other adverse conditions inside your facility can damage all of your assets, including furnishings, electronics and other valuable goods.
