Systems and Solutions Building resilience through intelligence

Management consulting for corporate security and risk intelligence

GET IN TOUCH

We enable security leaders to deliver value across the enterprise from project teams to the board room, by optimising and transforming their exploitation of risk data, analytics and intelligence.

Word-class corporate security and crisis management today is intelligence-led and data driven, and transcends traditional protective services. It builds resilience and serves as an enabling function within the enterprise, supporting and advising other business risk owners. It augments the monitoring, forecasting, assessment and management of complex interrelated risks across different business functions. And it gives executive decision makers the confidence and assurance to take managed risks and further growth strategies.

Our consulting teams work closely with our clients to transform the corporate security function into global risk management centres of excellence within the enterprise. Our approach allows the Chief Security Officer to lead the integrated convergence of physical and personnel security risk management and crisis management, with reputational risk management, information security, political risks, safety and good governance.

From goal setting to execution, we understand what our clients are trying to achieve and we help them get there, with the collection and exploitation of data and intelligence, and the design of solutions and systems that yield efficient, measurable, cost-effective and compelling business risk management outcomes.

Modelling security risk for a global portfolio

A global chemicals company commissioned our team to conduct a comprehensive political and security risk assessment of its 150 sites in 50 countries to inform its strategy as it prepared to approach the political risk insurance market. Our team built and populated a bespoke quantitative risk exposure model to better quantify its insurance requirements, and identify priority sites for risk transfer or mitigation.

Having identified terrorism as a principle point of risk concern, the client instructed us to construct a scenario-based assessment model of terrorism risk to the firm’s production and corporate sites, as well as its logistics network. Based on this model our consultants audited security controls and processes, identified gaps in security provision and delivered recommendations for global and local security standards. These were subsequently applied across the company’s portfolio to achieve global ensure consistency in risk management and mitigation strategies and processes.

Responding to Covid-19

In the early months of the Covid-19 pandemic an organisation in the financial sector asked us to rapidly develop a bespoke methodology and dashboard to enable unbiased senior leadership decision making about when and whether the company would be able to reopen corporate locations globally.

In a short time working with specialist technical partners we created a framework with a custom-delivery platform covering more than 80 locations in over 30 countries and territories based on weighted standardised metrics including Covid-19 case data, government restrictions and other inputs. Our client was able to make decisions around pandemic response, staff health and safety, and the prioritisation of resources on the basis of an unbiased and consistent model.
