How Do I Secure My Office? A Practical Starter Plan
Quick answer

Start at the door: a fingerprint or card reader keeps track of who enters. Add CCTV at reception, corridors and exits, an alarm for after hours, and fire safety. Protect your IT with a UPS and backup. Layering these gives better security than one expensive device.
