Develop and maintain a best-in-class security function within your organization

Do you have the right tools to ensure the security of your personnel and assets?

Business may be global, but security is almost always local. Security Managers increasingly face questions that require geo-referenced, risk tagged, actionable intelligence combined with highly proprietary data on their organization’s operational footprint, business cadence and personnel locations around the world.

Designed for pro-active corporate security teams the Foresight Security Service provides granular forecasts and location specific risk analysis for 211 countries and enables security professionals to:
  • Anticipate change: Foresight delivers relevant indicators of the future business environment to decision makers, highlighting changing operational and security environments early enough for those risks to be efficiently managed
