GROWTH PILLAR: Cybersecurity & IT
WHO THIS IS FOR: SMB owners / Solopreneurs / Corporate escapees / Leaders building systems
WHAT THEY'LL GAIN: Actionable insight on physical security gaps, hard-won lessons from the field, and real strategies to protect your business before a break-in forces your hand.
Most business owners think an alarm system is enough. Ken Suitor has seen what happens when it isn't.
Ken is the owner of TruMax Security, a locksmith and commercial security company serving the Ottawa area. He's spent years helping business owners, property managers, and homeowners fix security gaps they didn't know they had — until something went wrong.
In this episode of Knack 4 Business, Ken walks through the real vulnerabilities most SMBs overlook. He explains why a 15-minute police response window is the number that should be driving every security decision you make. He breaks down why electronic locks and cloud-based access systems are not as secure as they look. And he shares what a proper physical security audit actually covers — from the weight of your lock hardware to the sight lines around your front door.
