A recent security audit revealed that our rented offsite storage facility has not been turning on their alarm system at night for who knows how long. It seems they were getting false alarms when birds got in the building. Their fix? Just don't use it. Did they happen to tell anyone about the bird problem or their solution to it? As you might guess, the answer is no.
Well, of course, when someone higher up heard about this, the situation was quickly deemed unacceptable- DUH. We only have several million dollars worth of product that someone could steal. It could also be vandalized in such a way that would make for an extremely expensive clean up.
Guess what corrective action was chosen? They turned off the motion detectors. Doesn't seem like the best solution does it? The alarm company technician who did it essentially said it was stupid. I'm not sure if the person in charge of the audit will accept this as an appropriate countermeasure. I certainly hope not.
