balance the cost against security

The strength of a document is in the combination of security features. If your document contains 5 or more elements of security and other institutions are only using 3 you can be fairly certain that they will be targeted before you. The counterfeiter will always look for the easiest and most cost-effective route. Skimp on budget, you skimp on security. What we do recommend is that you need to balance the cost against security. The question you need to ask yourself, as a security printing buyer, is “How much would it cost to remedy a breach of security?”
