S8 - Checking Intruder alarm performances -Considerations for claim investigations
Technical document	21 Apr 2009
Insurers often require intruder alarm protection to counter the risk of theft, robbery, malicious damage or arson.

It is natural to assume that it might be impossible to overcome the conflict between providing an easy and rapid means of escape in an emergency and the prevention of intrusion by criminals. Consequently, it is common for compromises to be made that seriously undermine security. Obviously, life safety interests are of the highest importance but, as this guide explains, safe escape and security can be brought into balance with informed planning and knowledge of suitable methods and security products.
S12 - Police response intruder alarm systems - 10 step guide for purchasers
Technical document, Guidance, Advice	14 Dec 2009
Intruder alarm systems are an effective means of protecting both commercial and domestic premises against theft, robbery, malicious damage and arson. As such, premises owners or occupiers may find that their insurers make certain types of insurance cover conditional upon having such a system, and most often one with police response. In doing so, insurers will usually require an alarm system to meet certain requirements, as outlined in this guide.
S13 - Audible-only intruder alarm systems - summary of insurers' typical requirements
Owners/occupiers of many homes, and some small commercial premises, may find that their property insurers make certain types of insurance cover (or a premium discount) conditional upon having a simple ‘audible-only’ intruder alarm system installed.
S14 - Police response intruder alarm systems - summary of insurers' typical requirements

S15 - Guidance on evaluating the performance of alarm transmission systems
Technical document	23 May 2011
It is important that end users are able to obtain a clear understanding from specifiers of the performance of the various signalling products and services now available, such that they can be sure that they do satisfy the risk assessed requirements for their personnel/property protection. Equally, it is vital that specifiers can knowledgeably and unambiguously obtain and provide suitable advice to end users, and in that regard Alarm Transmission System (ATS) providers understand what information and evidence of performance may be expected of them.
S16 - Guidelines to Shop front protection
Technical document	08 Aug 2011

Business Resilience - A guide to protecting your business and its people
Technical document, Guidance	14 Apr 2005
Being prepared for the worst situation that could occur is a sensible policy for dealing with lesser disruptions, and the process of business continuity management will inevitably increase the resilience of your business to disruptions of any size. The process of identification of potential threats, ways of risk reduction and calculation of the most effective response will prove to be a vital tool to any organisation in the wake of a major incident or disaster. Experience proves that it is a lot easier to plan for the likely effects of potential disaster coolly and objectively in advance, than react in the aftermath. This document provides an introduction to ways in which management can adopt measures which will help a business survive the effects of a significant and potentially damaging event, such as a flood or a terrorist incident. This approach to business resilience delivers a framework on which a company can build, whatever its size and whatever the nature of its business.
