Terrorism
Terrorism is a major threat for businesses. Terrorist groups may seek to cause harm to the economy as a whole by attacking business premises or they may seek to attack specific businesses to advance their political agendas. The threat is not confined to the UK; companies that do business overseas may also be targeted.
Businesses can reduce the risk to themselves, their employees and customers by remaining vigilant, being security minded and having good security measures in place. A small investment in security measures helps to protect businesses against crime and make the work of terrorists more difficult.
Advice on business security measures can be obtained from the National Counter Terrorism Security Office (NaCTSO). Dedicated Counter Terrorism Security Advisers (CTSAs) are located in each of the UK's police forces, and in our case the Metropolitan Police. They provide protective and counter terrorism security advice to support businesses and reduce vulnerability to terrorist threats.
