Home security is on everybody’s mind these days. If you have a home-based business or a home office you can be the target of both asset theft and personal attack right in your own home.

In this series of articles, we look at three practical security steps you can take to guard your home and home business against attack using personal security and home security assessments.

Keeping your physical security simple and cost effective is vitally important. If it becomes a burden, you know you won’t keep it up. This approach uses a combination of home security and personal security.

The underlying issue to consider is what it would cost you if you were robbed, sustained asset damage or sustained personal injury? Look around your home, your home based business and, using a pad and pen or a simple word document, note the replacement costs for the furniture, stationery, paper books, technology products, computer software and downloads and other items that could be stolen or damaged in a home invasion.

Now look at your personal security and consider the cost of physical injury to your body, or your mental equilibrium, if faced with assault, confrontation with a thief or the aftermath of such.

DIY Home Security: Light

Tonight, after dark, go stand in your yard. Look at is as if you are a potential thief. How dark is your yard? Are there shadowy patches near your door or windows? If you were a thief, would you feel relatively “safe” approaching your house?
