(interpretation below)


Explanation:
'possible compromise' refers to disfunctions caused, for example by criminals who cut the wires to prevent the alarm from operating.
'failure-to-warn' refers to incidents in which the system fails without external intervention, for example because it has been set up incorrectly or the batteries are flat

My interpretation (I'll let Spanish-speaking colleagues tidy up it up...):
cualquier sistema de alarma puede estar comprometido en su funcionamiento o fallar cuando debe disparar
