Your Business Security Plan Has a Critical Gap | K4B Podcast

GROWTH PILLAR: Cybersecurity & IT WHO THIS IS FOR: SMB owners / Solopreneurs / Corporate escapees / Leaders building systems WHAT THEY'LL GAIN: Actionable insight on physical security gaps, hard-won lessons from the field, and real strategies to protect your business before a break-in forces your hand.   Most business owners think an alarm system is enough. Ken Suitor has seen what happens when it isn't. Ken is the owner of TruMax Security, a locksmith and commercial security company serving the Ottawa area. He's spent years helping business owners, property managers, and homeowners fix security gaps they didn't know they had — until something went wrong. In this episode of Knack 4 Business, Ken walks through the real vulnerabilities most SMBs overlook. He explains why a 15-minute police response window is the number that should be driving every security decision you make. He breaks down why electronic locks and cloud-based access systems are not as secure as they look. And he shares what a proper physical security audit actually covers — from the weight of your lock hardware to the sight lines around your front door. Key topics covered: Why alarms and cameras are not a security plan on their own The 15-minute rule and what it means for your front door Electronic lock vulnerabilities — cloud, fob, and keypad risks High security vs. grade-standard locks — what the difference actually costs you How thieves case a location before they strike Car key fob signal theft and what post-2018 vehicles get wrong Tariffs, supply chains, and how TruMax adapted its product lineup Safes, vaults, and what most people actually store inside them The "do not duplicate" key myth — what it really means Free security consultations and what a TruMax site survey covers Connect with Kenneth Suitor:  TruMax Security website  Kenneth Suitor on LinkedIn  TruMax Security on LinkedIn  TruMax on Facebook  TruMax on Twitter/X   This episode is brought to you by: Join Canada Growth Network — Full GHL CRM + membership community access.
