Solace threat assessments are not limited to simple threat awareness, but we delve into where the risks may arise and why they are considered a risk, such as activist monitoring to ensure the safety of individuals at a company conference and intelligence monitoring for film shoots, documentaries and sporting events. The depth of review will vary from task and location depending on the prevailing risks, importance of the site and readiness of each location in terms of risk mitigation. Each deployed assessment is supported by a detailed desk top risk assessment conducted by the Solace Global Intelligence unit and will be able to identify and map security risks and their associated impacts on the company/ personnel/ community/ legal requirements and making recommendations on how to mitigate these risks.
The overall objective of most deployed Risk Assessments are to complete a detailed audit of the physical security and safety measures for the locations to identify threats and resulting operational risk exposures, in order to provide appropriate and effective mitigation and ensure a safe and secure working environment.
Conducting risk assessments is not always the most exciting but is certainly of upmost importance. Whether you are assessing the risk to your travel, office location or building Solace understands the need for a thorough and engaging assessment report.

We were approached by a cruise ship company who were planning an around the world cruise. The vessel was due to call in over 30 countries with varied threat profiles. It was requested that we put together a high-level, detailed threat assessment outlining the security challenges and concerns. In response to this request, we were able to advise on whether or not they should call at their planned destinations or whether or not further security is advisable when undertaking shore excursions. The document which we produced consisted of a number of sections. Providing a summary report on the security profile for each country, highlighting key issues of specific concern, be that crime, terrorism, civil unrest, etc and specific locations with security challenges. We then offered general risk mitigation techniques for travellers and issues to remember at all times when abroad.
