Case Study
Duty of Care Solutions Enabling Proactive Risk Management and Organizational Agility for a Global Asset Management Firm
4 Aug 2022

Situational Analysis
A privately-held investment management firm handling over USD$200 billion in assets had a limited duty of care program in place to look after their 1,000+ employees. The first step they took to strengthen their program was to hire a new Chief Security Officer who was able to quickly identify the gaps in the program. Existing gaps included limited awareness of their employee’s global travel plans and movement, no proactive monitoring of threats to their people and sites, and limited resources to undertake this function. If an incident occurred, they spent valuable time manually pulling and aligning travel and people management data. The Chief Security Officer reached out to Crisis24 in search of a cohesive and comprehensive end-to-end solution to protect their critical business drivers – their people, both at home and abroad.

Crisis24 in Action
Key Challenges
Our first step was to assess the risk exposure of the organization and, together with the Chief Security Officer, identify solutions to mitigate these concerns and implement a best-in-class duty of care solution that shifted their position from reactive to proactive. The program also had to support an organization without a fully resourced security department and with significant financial assets and executives managing investments globally. With limited resources overseeing their security program and no 24/7 monitoring capabilities, they also needed support for their frontline monitoring and emergency requests. The internal program also needed to be automated to maximize efficiency and minimize process gaps and oversight, leaving their personnel to focus on their primary responsibilities. The final step was to identify any ad-hoc security needs required to solidify their security ecosystem.
From Ad-hoc Monitoring to a Comprehensive Solution
Our collaborative program was designed exclusively with our client in mind, including flexible plans that evolve with its business needs and respond to the unexpected.

Crisis24’s Risk Management Platform enabled the client to stay aware of their threat exposures globally and effortlessly communicate with their employees.

- Proactive threat intelligence related to the organization’s personnel and places of operation
- Bespoke analysis on unique situations and custom threat reports for C-suite level travel
- Access to threat intelligence and security advice for all personnel
- Our mobile app, complete with a crisis signal button to use in an emergency
