Our Services
High profile sporting events, concerts, and conferences have two things in common: they attract very large crowds and present very complex security challenges.
The Soufan Group is ideally prepared to systematically plan for your major event and effectively manage the critical on-scene security effort. Every vital element for each event is precisely evaluated.
The process begins with an exhaustive concept of operations to highlight critical junctions leading up to and through the event and set forth a clear mission statement consistent with your requirements. The plan details crucial elements of the security situation, identifies appropriate response authorities, and organizes individual agency jurisdictions and capabilities. All assets and capabilities will be prudently orchestrated to ensure necessary execution time lines and schemes of operations are well understood. Of prime importance are the assessment of response capabilities and guidance for the preparatory tasks that must be conducted well in advance of the event.
The Soufan Group draws upon experienced subject matter experts who have provided major event security on a global scale for decades using a methodology proven successful at many of the world's most notable events, to include multiple Olympic Games. This proprietary process incorporates:
- On-Site Risk Assessment of security protocols and vulnerabilities based on a proven cost/benefit matrix
- A comprehensive Emergency Response Plan tailored to the given event and host facilities
- Prescribed Training for all security elements involved with the event
- A Comprehensive Suite of Practical Exercises that reliably test readiness
- Periodic Threat Assessments that provide updates on transnational, regional and local threats based upon real world intelligence
