The Best Options to Protect and Monitor SMEs in Mexico

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are the heart of the Mexican economy. Of the more than 5.5 million companies that exist in Mexico, more than 98% are SMEs , which clearly represents their great preponderance in our country.

While large companies can afford security systems and services of all kinds (such as physical security, industrial security, cybersecurity, etc.), many SMEs survive month to month and barely have the financial capacity to make even the most basic investment in security.

If you are a small or medium-sized business owner in Mexico, this article will help you explore and compare the most popular security options for SMEs in Mexico.

Cuid: Comprehensive Security and Accessible Advanced Technology
Since its opening in 2022, cuid has positioned itself as one of the main options for the security of SMEs in Mexico

The care proposal includes:

- A complete, simple and intuitive app: The cuid app is the perfect solution for those who need to keep track of everything that happens in their business in a simple and intuitive way. This app is the only one on the market that allows total control over all devices, remote management, storage of the complete history of events, management of entrances and exits and other options designed to simplify security management.
- 24/7 Monitoring : Unlike traditional security companies or smart home systems like Nest and Ring , cuid offers professional 24/7 video surveillance and monitoring through a modern monitoring center that responds in less than 1 minute to any incident.
- Cutting-edge technology : Cuid systems are equipped with high-resolution cameras, advanced motion sensors and smart alarms that can be integrated with mobile devices.
- Excellent cost-benefit ratio : Unlike other security providers, cuid offers complete packages with very affordable fixed prices, as well as flexible proposals that adapt to the needs and budgets of SMEs, without compromising the quality of service.
- Personalized attention: The cuid team provides dedicated support for each client, ensuring that each system is configured according to the specific characteristics of the business.

Finally, a great difference between Cuid and other options is its advanced business functions, so that owners can manage and monitor everything: staff check-in and check-out, opening hours, friendly faces, etc.

ADT Mexico: a brand with a global reputation

ADT is one of the most recognized names in the security space. Its service for businesses and SMEs includes:

- Extensive monitoring network: ADT has an extensive monitoring infrastructure that covers the entire country.
- Reliable Systems : ADT technology is robust and has been tested in a variety of environments.

However, some crucial aspects make ADT a less tempting option for Mexican SMEs:
- High cost: However, its prestige comes with a higher cost, which can be a challenge for some SMEs.
- Less flexibility : ADT plans are less customizable compared to cuid plans, which is far from ideal for companies with specific needs and limited budgets.

Prosegur: Advanced Options for Large Companies

Prosegur is another strong operator in the Mexican market, especially known for its global approach, technological innovation and ability to work with large companies.

Some of its advantages are:
- Advanced technology: Prosegur offers innovative solutions such as cloud video surveillance and biometric access control systems.
- International coverage : Prosegur is ideal for companies with a presence in several countries that need coordination and synchrony in their prevention efforts.

As detailed on this page , Prosegur is, however, a rather limited option for Mexican businesses, particularly for SMEs:
- High prices: Like ADT, Prosegur tends to be more expensive, and its advanced solutions may be unnecessary for smaller companies.
-Less local focus: Prosegur's structure and global focus result in a less personalized service than that of local companies such as cuid.

Which security option should you choose for your SME?

When you own an SME, you have to take care of everything: administration, finances, marketing...and also security.

For this reason, we recommend that you choose an option that, in addition to being affordable and customizable to your needs, allows you to delegate video surveillance without losing total control over it, and in that sense cuid is undoubtedly the best option on the market.
