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.”
