Operational Resilience

Navigating the complexities of local and international legal frameworks is not something global corporations take on every day. Anvil has done it for 30 years.

Our policy consultants will work with you to devise and implement a dedicated risk management strategy that’s thoroughly mapped to your organisation’s operations and locations, and which, on interrogation, would show you’d demonstrated exceptional duty of care to the safety and protection of your employees.

Cohesive contingency planning

With the proper business contingency planning and crisis management, you can continue to operate business as usual in the wake of disruption.

Anvil’s business resilience consultants draw on our wealth of experience, our continually updated information sources, and scenario planning to help you devise and implement the policies and advance plans that will protect your organisation.

Customised strategy guidance:

• Policy & Plan Development
  • Travel Risk Management
  • Crisis Management
  • Evacuation
  • Emergency Response
  • Business Resilience
• Gap Analysis (of your existing policies and plans)
• Workplace Violence Programs
• Red Team & Penetration Testing
• Policy & Plan Training (desktop exercises and rehearsal drills)

Fully tailored risk analysis

An up-to-date and accurate risk intelligence programme can make the difference between an international business strategy that succeeds, and one that gets mired in compliance, transparency and mitigation complexities.

Anvil delivers custom-for-you risk analysis reporting and insight on political, economic, commercial, security and terrorism risks that affect your operational capability.

Strategic operational intelligence

Based on your specific operational needs, we develop a personalised combination of reports that can include:

• full country risk assessments
• country risk update briefs
• special alerts
• insight briefs

… all covering distinct opportunities and challenges for your global commercial activities.

Relevant expertise

Produced by experts with specialties directly relevant to your organisation’s operations or geographic territories, this strategic intelligence allows you to present an accurate picture of upcoming strategies, expansion plans, new market opportunities, partnerships and investments to your executives, auditors, and even your board of directors.

The effectiveness of an organisation’s security programme rests not on any individual programme element, but rather on the interaction of each element. At Anvil, we assess each client’s security needs individually and comprehensively, partnering with you as a trusted security advisor to deliver thorough risk and vulnerability evaluations and recommendations for your premises, including offices, industrial buildings, meeting/event venues, hotels and private residences.

Our risk assessments provide a comprehensive evaluation of your facilities’ physical security infrastructure and security personnel arrangements, including an initial in-depth intelligence gathering phase to assess crime trends and the general threat landscape of the location, as well as social engineering vulnerabilities and capabilities of the local police and fire services. In addition, we verify the adequacy of introduced safety measures, such as emergency exits and fire control apparatus. Our holistic approach ensures we focus on your employees and company profile, not just local threats.

Traveller protection en-route

Simple trips to high-risk destinations can be stressful enough, and the more complex the journey, the more unsettling it can be. Anvil’s secure journey management makes it possible to fulfil your legal obligations while making sure your travellers are well supported and at ease – no matter how complicated or straightforward the journey, wherever they are and wherever they’re going.

Anvil’s training programmes are always delivered by subject matter experts who cover a wide range of security topics delivered in a variety of formats to suit your needs, including eLearning, remote or on-site workshops or lecture-style briefings – to groups or individuals. Most courses are pre-designed, however, as standard we will collaborate with you to customise the content so it fits the unique needs of your organisation and the course participants by undertaking a training needs analysis prior to training delivery.

You can be confident that our training programmes deliver the highest standards of quality assurance and certification through our accreditation as a City & Guilds training centre for the delivery of training on a number of security related subjects, and SIA approval to conduct Close Protection training.
