The Route
Content• About us• Understanding threat and duty of care– What your company should give / could give
• Mitigating the threats and risk– Planning, training, awareness, oversight
• Preparedness– What to do if – the ‘actions on’ to be taken in
various situations
About us• Former UKSF• Global experience, commercial and military,
tactical – strategic• Supporting Companies, NGOs and HNWI
achieve their specialist security solutions• The team (physical, technical and cyber)• The Anuera approach (integrated)
We understand organisations like yours have to operate effectively in what are complex,
challenging and at times hostile environments.
Traditionally security companies offer standard solutions that are not necessarily tailored to
the your specific needs, operational profile or risk tolerance.
This is not how we do business.
“Private-sector preparedness is not a luxury; it is a cost of doing business in the post-9/11
world. It is ignored at a tremendous potential cost in lives, money and security.”
The 9/11 Commission Report
Understanding the threat• Determining the risks• Why do it• The level of threat – capability and intent• The types of threat– Terrorism (international and national)– Activists– Disgruntled employees– Crime– Wrong place wrong time
Countering the threat• Protecting your most critical assets – your
personnel • Representative critical impacts• Security Master Plan• Case Study
Operational Risk Management
Examples• Linked into past performance we will
look at the following:– Loss of governance (coup d’etat)–War–Kidnap
Loss of governance - Mali• Visiting Bamako on a BD trip• During the night you hear gunfire in the street• You think nothing of it and go back to sleep• In the morning you look out of the hotel window and see this!
Situation change….• You turn on France24, it doesn’t work• The only available news channel is showing you this:
What do you do next?• Try to phone the office in London?• Try to speak to the companies that you are
visiting?• Ask the hotel staff what’s going on?• Contact the British in country representation?• Stay in the hotel?• Try to get a taxi to the airport?• Take a train to Senegal?• Self drive to Burkina Faso?
War - Lebanon 2006
Lebanon 2012
Lebanon• 2006 Israeli Military moved fast• Hezbollah locked down city within 45mins• Airport attacked• Pressure on foreign government to evacuation
expats
• Syria war “overspill”• Chemical weapons worries• Concern that Hezbollah would mount attacks
from Lebanon
• How much risk do you tolerate?
Who gets kidnapped?• Diplomats• Business people (foreign / domestic)• Manual workers (engineers / construction)• Oil & Gas Workers• NGO’s• PSD members• Journalists• Members of the public
Key mitigation measures• Good journey management• Understand threat (FCO advice / intelligence)• Use of PSD in country (visible deterrent)• Secure communications• Retain situational awareness• Don’t take unnecessary risks• Have specialist insurance policy in place• TREAT – TRANSFER – TERMINATE - TOLERATE
Organisational Challenges • How do we calculate risk?• How do we predict key risk events?• How do we improve our organisations resilience to cope with unforeseen
risk events?• What is our risk appetite i.e. what level of risk are we prepared to tolerate
before terminating operations?• How do we identify and manage threats against our enterprise?• What are the financial impacts of getting it wrong?• What are we legally bound to do in order to satisfy duty of care to
employees and contractors?• How do we communicate risk across our organization?• How much time and energy do we spend on ERM?• What assurances can we expect that our embedded Consultants have
sufficient security measures in place?• How do we manage risk across a joint venture?• How are we going to evacuate our staff if it all goes wrong?
