PINKERTON | Comprehensive Risk Management

At Pinkerton, we talk a lot about risks, threats, and vulnerabilities—these terms are not interchangeable terms although threat and vulnerability fall under the big risk umbrella.     Swipe through to see how we break it down: 

Where there are large-scale events, there are crowds—and criminals who are experts at recognizing circumstances where situational awareness has decreased, presenting very real and potentially significant safety and security risks—especially for executives and high-net-worth individuals. Quick tip: At events, it’s all too easy to get distracted and compromise your defense mechanisms. Executives and others in positions of responsibility need to be especially vigilant.

From the roar of sports fans to the hushed whispers of business moguls, conference centers and arenas are the stages for some of life's most vibrant and culturally significant events. Whether it's the electric energy of a rock concert, the high-stakes appointment of the next presidential candidate, or the competitive spirit of a championship game, these venues are where memories—and history—are made. And beneath the surface lies a world of intrigue, where the sharp minds of security teams play a game of cat and mouse, ensuring the only 'con' in the conference is part of its name. Just a few feet outside the convention center, a different scene unfolds. Would-be offenders wait and watch for a quick score. We’re security and risk management experts, and we've got you covered. As part of our Summertime Event Security series, see how the neighborhoods surrounding a few notable US Convention Centers rank on the Pinkerton Crime Index, our AI and frontier data science platform—from the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee where the 2024 RNC was held to the United Center in Chicago where the 2024 DNC will be held. Note: the higher the score, the higher the risk. Know your risk. Be safe. #PCI #Crime #CrimeRisk #Conventions

"Social media sentiment around the event location and potential for violence should be identified, monitored and managed not only for event organizers but also organizations near event sites," shares Jason Porter, Vice President, Managed Services at Pinkerton. Large-scale and high-profile events, like the RNC and DNC, pose distinct security challenges for organizers and local businesses. As crowds naturally attract more criminal behavior and political ideologies clash, security professionals need to be aware of the changing risk landscape.

Swift and effective response times are essential for business continuity and the safety of staff and customers. Understanding how fast law enforcement or emergency services respond to incidents can help organizations develop crisis management and response plans for various scenarios such as theft, natural disasters, medical emergencies, and evacuation routes for staff and customers. Pinkerton Risk Pulse is an advanced analytical report that equips organizations with crucial insights into site-specific risks, from crime risk to wildfires and industrial hazards, to help organizations prepare for potentially disruptive events. Plus, Risk Pulse now shows the distance between your location and the nearest police agency, fire station, and hospital and gives a percentile ranking for your neighborhood compared to neighborhoods across the country.

Insurers need precise, up-to-date data to assess business risks effectively. Outdated or incomplete data can skew policy accuracy, causing unforeseen losses. Take a Times Square business for example. Insurers would want to know it has a low risk of power outages but a high risk of industrial hazards. They will also want to know the crime risk at that location. Accurate risk assessment is non-negotiable. Risk Pulse can help. Advanced algorithms and proprietary data analysis methodologies address common issues such as delayed or inaccurate data for six key risk areas including natural disasters, wildfire, industrial hazards, crime, electrical outages, and economic risks, providing U.S. insurers with timely and reliable risk information.
