The Cost of Compliance
vs. The Cost of Risk
Investing in cannabis security is not just about protecting your business, it’s about protecting your license to operate. The cost of compliance is always lower than the cost of risk.
Cost of Compliance: Upfront investment in security systems ensures you meet Minnesota’s Office of Cannabis Management requirements, pass inspections, and maintain your license. It also protects your employees, customers, and assets.
Cost of Risk: Failing to comply can lead to fines, loss of license, product diversion, theft, burglary, and damage to your brand reputation. One incident of theft or a single failed compliance inspection can cost far more than implementing the right systems from the start.
