In places where there is sufficient law enforcement, this is not required but even then some extra-high-risk shops like banks still do. In places where there is not sufficient law enforcement, like failed states, favelas and the internet, almost all shops should hire guards (or their digital equivalent) or risk being robbed. In this particular case, the long term fix is to extend the rule of law onto the internet but until that time having good security is not optional.
