We have the in-house expertise to help you understand the threat, vulnerability and risk affecting your site and/or event so that we can support you in making the right counter terrorism protection choices.
Our counter terrorism risk assessment is two-fold:
TVRA
We provide a Threat, Vulnerability and Risk Assessment (TVRA), carried out by our in-house experts, to understand the specific threats and vulnerabilities that could put you at risk of a terrorist attack.
VDA
If your site is close to vehicle access routes, we carry out a Vehicle Dynamics Assessment (VDA), so that we can specify the most appropriate hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) protection for your specific venue or event.
These services are delivered by experienced and qualified SAFECROWDS experts, who will explain their findings to you and advise you on protecting your site and/or event from a terrorist attack.
TVRA
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to protecting a site, venue or event from a terrorist attack. But there is a proven methodology for assessing the threat, vulnerability and risk specific to an individual location or event.
We don’t share our TVRA methodology or counter terrorism risk assessment criteria because it is sensitive information that could be used by terrorists planning an attack. However, we can assure you of a professional service, which includes:
- A site visit from our in-house TVRA counter terrorism expert
- A full consideration of the threats and vulnerabilities affecting your specific site and/or event
- An understanding of the operational requirements for your site and/or event
- A detailed summary of our counter terrorism risk assessment along with our recommendations for mitigating risk
VDA
We use a proven vehicle dynamics assessment methodology to analyse the probable forces and trajectory of hostile or errant vehicles that could potentially jeopardise the safety and security of your site and/or event.
Our VDA process considers the proximity of vehicular access and the road layout so that we can model the potential impact implications. We combine this understanding with the insights we gained from the TVRA, so that we can advise you on the type of HVM and required HVM locations for optimised protection of people and assets in the event of a vehicle attack or incursion.
Correct specification of HVM equipment needs to be based on much more than guesswork and off-the-shelf purchasing; it should be informed by a full understanding of risk. Get in touch to find out how we can help you understand your risk factors.
