The Risk of "Nothing's Happened Yet" in Commercial Building Security

Why "Nothing's Happened Yet" Is the Most Dangerous Phrase in Building Security

Many property managers fall into a common trap: because no major security incident has occurred, they assume their building is safe. This reactive mindset is one of the biggest risks in commercial building security.

The False Sense of Security

Just because there hasn't been a break-in or a major incident doesn't mean your property isn't vulnerable. Criminals often case buildings for weeks before acting. Without visible security measures, your building becomes an easy target.

Common Vulnerabilities Property Managers Overlook

• Unlocked service entrances — during business hours
• Outdated or non-functional CCTV cameras — that provide no real deterrent
• No after-hours security presence — , leaving the building unmonitored
• Poor lighting — in parking garages and stairwells
• Lack of visitor management — systems

The Cost of Being Reactive

When an incident finally does occur, the costs are staggering — property damage, liability claims, tenant turnover, and reputational harm. Proactive security is always more cost-effective than dealing with the aftermath of a preventable incident.
