Perhaps you’ve become the victim of a break-in, you’ve had to shut down your business temporarily and you’re wondering how this could of happened. Security violations do happen, and while they are unwelcome, they do bring a unique experience.

In order to make the most out of the situation its important to assess all of the damage and theft that has been carried out. Knowing what has been damaged can give clues as to how the criminals got into the property, or why they did so in the first place.

With an accurate assessment made you can build on the knowledge and prepare your security systems more efficiently. While break-ins are unfortunate they do provide a one off learning experience that you can use constructively if you choose to.

It is not easy to do this, the last thing you want to think about is how to make an accurate assessment of damage that has been done. But you can gain something from it.
