Operations Platform

From intelligence to coordinated action.

Operational technology for putting intelligence, decisions and professional advice into practice. It connects what an organisation knows with how it prepares, operates, responds and learns.

What the Operations Platform is

Your operations, built in modules.

Plans and advice are linked to the people, assets and actions they are meant to inform. Every module reads from and writes to the same record, and each is configured to your terminology and processes.

Who it is for

The questions people bring to the platform.

Works with your own policies, plans and advice, with or without CORTEX.

Fire, police and Local Resilience Forums

Did the change we made after the last incident actually stick?

Organisational learning · Preparedness and assurance
Universities

What is happening on campus right now, and who is dealing with it?

Incident and crisis management · Security monitoring
Corporate security and resilience teams

Are our plans and controls being followed across every site?

Implementing recommendations · Business continuity
Security and risk partners

Implementing recommendations · Managed services
Portfolio monitoring

Know when a threshold you set has been crossed.

Monitor a portfolio of sites, assets or insured locations against trigger thresholds you define. When a threshold is breached, the right people are prompted to review it, so decisions can be made early rather than after the event.

A threshold prompts a review. People decide what happens next.
