Corporate event planners interface with a wide range of stakeholders whether they are orchestrating a large-scale or VIP affair. It is not uncommon that they have significant interactions with key executives who are speaking or hosting the event [and their executive protection (EP) personnel], venue staff, logistics teams, and more.
But now more than ever, when it comes to security, event planners need real-time intelligence about the region, venue, and online chatter that may become threatening and support by security experts when a crisis unfolds.
Insite's Global Security Operations Center (GSOC) serves as the hub of protective intelligence, team communications, and emergency response for corporate events large and small. And our GSOC team has a tried and true method for delivering comprehensive best-in-class event security.
Before events, our GSOC analysts conduct an event risk assessment that includes research into the risk landscape, identifying any issues related to upcoming events. This helps guide security coverage on event days.
The GSOC team works closely with the security lead who is the 'boots on the ground' director of physical security for the event to plan ongoing intelligence and protection coverage and emergency response procedures.
During events, analysts geofence event locations and monitor for high-impact incidents taking place in proximity to an event site and sends alerts if needed.
The GSOC team also performs communication check-ins by contacting guards and vendors throughout each event to confirm status updates and ensure protection detail is running on schedule.
Importantly, Insite’s GSOC team is trained in emergency support. Our command center triages emerging incidents impacting client events through established response protocols, serving as a liaison with Insite's additional security resources.
