Business Safety and Security
Running a safe and secure business protects you, your staff, your customers and your assets.
This page brings together the key resources available to help you improve premises security, plan for disruptions and strengthen your cyber security.
Protecting your business premises
The City has developed a range of resources to help local businesses improve the safety and security of their premises.
Community Safety and Security Guide for Businesses
The Community Safety and Security Guide for Businesses is available to help you improve the safety and security of your premises. It contains practical information, tips and resources and outlines the safety services the City provides to local businesses.

Business Security Checklist
The Business Security Checklist helps you identify potential areas of vulnerability so you can take steps to improve your security measures. Work through the checklist to assess your premises and identify where improvements can be made.
Business continuity
Every business could experience an event that disrupts normal operations, whether that is a natural disaster, a break-in, a power outage or a cyber incident. Planning ahead makes a real difference when the unexpected happens.
The Chamber of Commerce and Industry WA has developed a Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Workbook specifically for small and medium businesses. It provides a step-by-step guide to help you develop a business continuity plan and prepare for disruptive events.
Cyber security
Cyber threats are an increasing risk for businesses of all sizes. A single incident can result in financial loss, reputational damage and disruption to your operations. Taking a few simple steps to assess and improve your cyber security can make a significant difference.
Exercise in a Box
The Australian Cyber Security Centre offers Exercise in a Box, a free online tool that helps small and medium businesses test and improve their cyber security. It is designed to be completed without technical expertise and takes around an hour to work through. It covers common cyber threats and helps you identify where your business may be vulnerable.
