It’s vital for organizations to understand the unique risks inherent to the LGBTQ community, particularly when traveling to higher-risk destinations, and to discuss duty of care responsibilities for your global workforce.

Prevailing laws in some countries criminalize same-sex relationships and associate harsh penalties for even perceived behavior. In contrast, other countries restrict the possession of certain medications that LGBTQ individuals may use. Travel documentation has also become an increasing risk for LGBTQ travelers. The unique risks that LGBTQ individuals face highlight the need for a comprehensive duty of care program reflective of diverse workforces.

At Crisis24, our team of analysts keep a constant watch on the ever-changing LGBTQ legal and societal landscape. In this episode of The Risk Insight, Neil Sachs sits down with Jessika Turner and Danielle Ellam to discuss the importance of a risk management program that factors in potential threats to LGBTQ personnel and considerations to ensure the safety of your employees. Jessika and Danielle share insights into the risk profile and operating environment for higher-risk locations and provide recommendations for organizations looking to implement a comprehensive duty of care program – from pre-trip travel planning to contingency planning, corporate policies, access to accurate and timely intelligence alerts, and more.

Whether it’s in-season support, or off-season planning, the National Football League’s global operations center (GSOC) is a vital component in keeping personnel and assets safe.

The realization of the GSOC three years ago has allowed the league to expand its physical, cyber, and intelligence capabilities, and its partnership with Crisis24 has further increased its ability to monitor for online threats and mitigate potential security risks.

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic completely changed the understanding of duty of care, and the adoption of an “all-hazards” approach has been critical in maintaining a dynamic and agile approach to risk management.

As the League continues to expand its operating environment, relations with law enforcement both domestically and internationally are vital. The emphasis on close collaboration and transparency has led to better intelligence which has driven more effective and efficient decision-making abilities.

Listen to this latest episode of The Risk Insight, where Mo French and Neil Sachs discuss the NFL’s unique GSOC capabilities, duty of care obligations and integrated approach to risk management, and much more with Rob Gummer, Director, Intelligence Operations and GSOC at the National Football League.

More data has been generated in the last two years than within the entirety of human history. From social media posts to academic papers, organizations are facing the challenge of trying to consume all this data in a relevant and useable manner. With

During the COVID-19 pandemic, foreign and domestic travel has either come to a halt or been drastically reduced. With this, the executive protection industry has had to adapt its services to meet new business requirements. A seismic shift to remote working has seen new security concerns arise, resulting in a growing demand for residential protective services. Organizations have also had time to review and re-evaluate their crisis management plans and duty-of-care obligations in relation to business travel. With secure transportation and private aviation previously only available to c-suite executives, increasing uncertainty over health and safety has seen this also being extended to mid-level employees.
