4 Hours

Description
Module 1:
Kidnapping Awareness, Mitigation & Survival Training: Covers orientation to the kidnapping threat, recognition indicators, individual protective measures, and recommendations on how to survive if terrorism’s Weapon of Mass Effect (WME) strikes you or your organization.  Tailored to: 

  • Travel safety, executive protection, and travel planning

  • Individual Protection Measures While Traveling Overseas

  • Understanding the Criminal/Kidnapping Threat

  • Detecting Threats & How to Avoid Them

  • Surviving an Abduction and Isolation as Hostage

Module 2: GeoCritical Terror Index Score:

The GeoCritical Terror Index Score (GTIS) is an analytical tool which allows the CEO/COO/Crisis Risk manager to differentiate potential vulnerability of various asset locations in relation to terror attacks based on target typology and geographic location. The advantage GTIS offers is the flexibility to adjust to the client’s geographic footprint and industry sector. GeoCritical offers the ability to visualize additional categories such as asset value of each location, employee population, and supplier’s criticality.  This tool permits your organization to proactively deal with:

  • Business Continuity, Crisis Management, Disaster Recovery, Risk and Security Management visual threats based on historical terror attacks while providing these groups the ability to communicate to each internal corporate stakeholder.

  • Geospatially locate client asset footprint, including operations, warehouses, suppliers, and employee locations, along with client’s competitors.

  • Associating the attacks’ severity based on victim typology to include percentages of the terror attack’s hostage survivors, wounded, and victims killed.

About GeoCritical:

GeoCritical provides services which allow clients to take immediate and decisive action based on visual intelligence.  Our service takes the complexity out of incorporating seemingly disparate volumes of internal company data such as:

  • Databases maintained by different corporate units which list your facilities, by type - location - and operation.

  • Managed-information systems which contain vendor data including critical supply chain issues, multi-tiered vendor classifications etc.

  • Human resources databases which list the home and office locations of your critical employees, or as needed, all of your employees.

  • The locations, significance and status of clients, customers and joint-venture installations - crucial knowledge for just-in-time supply-chain operations.

  • Key critical infrastructure such as shipping ports, railroads, airports and interstate routes. Typically, much of this data is located across multiple sources which mean increased delay and cost when you are trying to compile an accurate picture of your risk exposures.

By incorporating this data into a visual brief your organization is empowered to make real time, informed decisions as risk incidents unfold - giving you a competitive advantage in the marketplace.

 About Daniel Risk Mitigation:

Daniel Risk Mitigation Corporate Consulting Services offers businesses operating in overseas, uncertain environments, the opportunity to protect their most valued investments by providing their employees with the training and knowledge for their personal protection.

As stated in an Ohio State University study by Professor Karolyi, “human capital losses, such as kidnappings of company executives, are associated with larger negative stock price reactions than physical losses, such as bombings of facilities or buildings.”

The threat of kidnapping is not limited to just the executive staff but rather all employees working in hostile environments. “An understanding of the nature of terrorism and the magnitudes of its effects is a prerequisite for designing successful policies to prevent terror, to alleviate the costs of terrorism, or to reduce an economy’s vulnerability to attacks.”
