CAMEROON
PROJECT : COUNTRY SECURITY ASSESSMENT
A global solar company tasked us to provide a threat and risk assessment and in-country security assessment of two locations in Cameroon in the Extreme North Region.
The purpose of the task was to provide a risk assessment and development of capability in support of the development of two solar sites and the deployment of expatriate staff. The report covered a range of typologies, including civil unrest, government stability, civil conflict and terrorism.
We identified a local security consultant to add context to the risk assessment, source security providers, develop mitigation strategies, plans and procedures thus enabling the client to build capability and capacity.
We are currently providing protective intelligence for both locations. The purpose of Protective Intelligence is to provide a proactive method of identifying, assessing, and mitigating possible threats to a project, individual or event. This is conducted by creating a protective bubble around the operational area, analysing the threats that might be posed to that area and developing action plans or tasks to lower or mitigate the risks.
MALI & BURKINA FASO
PROJECT : SECURITY SUPPORT & CRISIS MANAGEMENT
Provided two security managers operating on a rotational system to support the client’s operations in Bamako, Mali and Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso.
The client is a multinational engineering company specializing in products and services for mining, rock excavation, rock drilling, rock processing, metal cutting and machining. Martello conducted research using open and human source information to develop a threat assessment to identify key risks to their operations. From this, we put together a risk treatment plan.
The risk treatment plan considered physical, technical and procedural measures. The plan was submitted to the client and Martello supported the implementation of these measures over a three-month period.
We continue to support this client by providing outsourced security support and regular assurance visits to their operational areas to ensure the measures are implemented effectively.
UNITED KINGDOM
PROJECT : SECURITY REVIEW
Martello was commissioned to provide a security review of an Independent School in Kent. Using ISO31000 Risk Management process, we developed a risk assessment identifying the most plausible risk scenarios that might impact the staff, pupils and college assets. To add context we conducted a detailed physical review to identify vulnerabilities within the site and developed a risk treatment plan. We based our recommendations on the Department of Education site security guidance, benchmarked with other colleges and schools and aligned to the prevailing threats in the risk assessment.
We provided the college with a report detailing our recommendations and a risk register to enable them to track current scenarios and add new risks when identified.
EGYPT
PROJECT : PROJECT SECURITY MANAGEMENT
Successfully deployed back to back security managers to Egypt to support our client on of the largest solar park development in the world. The security managers provided day to day management of security-related resources, journey management planning, networking and intelligence gathering in order to safeguard people and assets. They also provided the client with quality assurance overwatch of the local security providers and feedback on community-related issues.
The managers were deployed for 18 months without incident and closed out the project successfully.
PAPUA NEW GUINEA
PROJECT : SECURITY MANAGEMENT
Deployed a small, discrete team to deploy to the Southern Highlands in Papua New Guinea following a serious security incident at a major gas construction site. The team consisted of six individuals with a variety of skills including security provider training and mentoring, social and community risk management, local language, strategic planning, management and advice, contingency planning and journey management.
The Team provided security management support and training for 18 months with no further security incident.
PAKISTAN
PROJECT : PROJECT SECURITY MANAGEMENT
Conducted threat and risk assessment, a country visit following the principles described in ISO31000. From this initial assessment, we developed a suite of plans - security and emergency response plans, journey management plan and evacuation plan.
We prepared tender documentation and distributed this to potential security providers and assessed bid response. The selected security provider delivers local transportation, meet and greet services and protection at the project accommodation.
We assisted in the recruitment of a local security manager and provided a mobilisation programme to familiarise them with the project.
We provide continued outsourced security management and consultancy when required with weekly assurance meetings with the local security manager feeding actions and observations to the client.
