Security Solutions. Minimizing risks, maximizing protection

Are you looking for real examples of security services that ISC could offer to you or your organization to ease your decision process? Take a look at the following real cases in two different areas:

Travel Advisories

A department or office of your organization or company is going to be deployed to a capital city of a country in which the crime and insecurity could affect all spectrums of your assets: your personnel as well as your financial and physical interests. How can you provide your organization or company with the necessary security tools to evaluate compliance with the security standards required in the country?

What evaluation program should be designed in order to evaluate and reinforce your company or organization’s security management practices?

What behavioural or security advice would be most helpful for your employees or personnel when suddenly deployed to any country in the world?

Iberia Security Consultant’s evaluation program is designed to reinforce your company or organization’s security management practices in the field, helping the national, regional or sub-regional offices increase their capacity to implement a normalized and systematic internal evaluation process. The Program will permit your company or organization’s offices and managers working in the field to determine systematic and objective minimal security standards in compliance with the security levels established for each country, as well your programs and funds.

The travel advisory service offers up-to-the-minute information about the foreign country or countries to which your personnel are deployed and each country’s security phase. When a situation that could affect the safe development of your company or organization’s work presents itself, ISC provides all of the necessary information and advice relative to the security status and situation in the destination as well as issues related to the travel restrictions.

Iberia Security Consultants will provide to your personnel and employees all of the information regarding their security, where to stay, how to react in dangerous situations, hospitals, where to go in the case of an emergency.

Mr. Jose Maria Sanchez and Ms. Andrea Smith are engineers and staff of an international organization headquartered in Madrid. They were suddenly called to travel to the Central African Republic (CAR) to resolve a breakdown in the electrical centre that the European Union constructed through a development program in Bangui. The organization requests ISC to provide the two engineers with a security briefing for the country, advice in relation to the vaccines required for the region, a list of emergency contacts in the country and tracking devices and supply complete assistance throughout their travels, including medical assistance and evacuation.

Once the organization’s security management team receives ISC’s report on the CAR’s current security phase, the organization requests ISC’s support in relation to its personnel’s transportation in the region and recommendations regarding safe and appropriate accommodations for the employees in Bangui.

Iberia Security Consultants alerts its personnel deployed in the zone and in less than 48 hours, the organization receives the information and services necessary for the engineers’ safe travel to the CAR.

During their stay in the CAR, Mr. Jose Maria falls and breaks his arm. ISC accompanies Mr. Jose Maria to the hospital and takes provides complete assistance in regards to his continued security, transportation, communication with the organization and his family and evacuation to his home country. Most importantly, ISC provides Mr. Jose Maria with friendly faces and tranquillity in an otherwise difficult and potentially dangerous situation.

Projects designed for NGOs

The management of the growing risks that humanitarian workers all over the world confront is a difficult balancing act: an exorbitant security service (one including weapons and armoured vehicles, for example) could generate the risk of being associated with armed forces, while a more limited security service could hinder the most basic duties in relation to the protection of the humanitarian workers.

Iberia Security Consultants is dedicated to assisting non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to overcome the difficulties associated with the operations that they carry out around the world. Many ISC personnel have solid experience working in international organizations and NGOs, and perfectly understand our clients’ needs and the situations that they encounter in their daily work. We also understand the importance of transparency and compliance with all relevant codes of ethical, which is why ISC is proud to be able to offer our clients with all required information in order to ensure compliance with international norms.

In recent years, many NGOs, at both the national and international level, have grown substantially, expanding their presence to areas where neither governments nor international organizations can assist, and in many cases the NGOs must cover the security aspects in order to adapt themselves to new situations.
Our NGO services include:

Design of Security Programs

Taking into account the exact needs of an NGO, ISC can develop a security program at the national and/or international level. This may include the restructuring of security management, the creation of security policies, training of humanitarian workers in relation to emergencies and crisis situations and the selection and instruction of local personnel that provide security to the NGO client.

Personnel Security and Travel Advisories

ISC offers a complete range of services directed to ensure that the humanitarian workers are well informed and well trained in security issues before being deployed.

Security Management in International Projects

We can organize all security aspects for your NGO’s international projects. This includes liaising with governmental organizations and local actors, the supervision of local security guards, the management of security during the travel of key persons, and, in the case of a security incident, the implementation of emergency plans and direct intervention in necessary cases.

Incident Response

In the case of a kidnapping or the occupation of a site, we can send a consultant to any part of the world within 24 hours in order to assist in negotiations and coordinate the response.

Crisis Management Training

ISC can train and test your personnel in the management of crisis situations and can help NGOs prepare themselves to face and properly respond to situations such as evacuations or a terrorist attack.
