MITIGATING OPERATIONAL RISK ACROSS A GLOBAL NETWORK REQUIRES INFORMED DECISIONS
We help our clients support business continuity by demystifying complex security environments
in international and domestic areas of interest.
Our risk rating system provides the following tools for contextualizing the risk:
U.S. Benchmark—compares the local homicide rate to the average homicide rate in similar sized U.S. cities.
Trend Analysis—measures whether an area is showing signs of improvement, deterioration, or no change.
Common Threat Categories—observed reocurring threats.
Flagged Threat Warnings—highlights any active threats to prepare for such as a tropical storm warning..
Methodology
Our quarterly system is comprised of three phases. In each phase we analyze different types of data stemming from a variety of sources including:
Government organizations Academic institutions Non-profit organizations The media
Other security partners
Our holistic approach includes information from:
Vetted standardized sources (phase 1)
Raw information including statistical and empirical data (phase 2)
As well as a geopolitical investigation, where magnitude of violence, geography, health & disease, and weather are considered (phase 3).
Security Recommendations
Our security recommendations are simple to use. They promote a personal security mindset that all employees, from production personnel to executives, can apply when traveling for business or leisure.
Starting with the most basic level, situational awareness training, our recommendations increase in complexity as the risk increases in severity. Higher tier recommendations require assistance from a security professional.
