What is the main benefit of implementing a security program for a business?

Implementing a security program for a business leads to a decrease in insurance costs because insurance providers often view the presence of strong security measures as a reduction in risk. When a business demonstrates that it has put comprehensive security protocols in place—such as employee training, surveillance systems, and incident response plans—insurance companies are more likely to offer lower premiums. This is because the likelihood of loss or damage is mitigated, translating to a more favorable risk assessment for the insurer.

In contrast, while a security program may indirectly impact employee workload, sales revenue, or product quality, these outcomes are not the primary motivators for establishing such programs. The main focus of a security program is to protect the business from threats, which ultimately influences insurance costs positively.
