FMCG Security
As terrorists consider viable delivery systems the potential threat to UK commerce is imminent, and very real.
We work with FMCG food manufacturers to reduce risk to the food and drinks supply chain in terms of potential threats, process vulnerabilities and countermeasures. We pay particular attention to employees who, with intent, could swiftly destroy the economic status of your organisation. How well do you ‘know your people’?
On average each food industry attack investigated by the intelligence services has led to the identification of over 20 persons likely to have been involved. These are not ‘Lone Wolf’ attacks.
There is evidence that threats to and within the food manufacturing process are moving faster than solutions provided under TACCP and VACCP. Vulnerability is correctly identified in ‘The White Paper’ (noted in PAS 96 2014) but fails to understand the magnitude of the threat created by rapidly moving geopolitical dynamics and gives only basic remedies under the broad heading of ‘Know your people’.
Do our solutions seek to replace TACCP? Quite the opposite. They should form a fundamental part of your TACCP compliance.
Standard DBS checks only access 8% of available data. Our intelligence-led background checks access 78%.
The question is, ‘would you choose to make informed decisions based on understanding only 8% of the potential problem, or would you prefer to have access to 78% of the data’?
The risks associated with a deliberate terrorist attack on your organisation can be insurmountable. Such threats to your operation, process or product may bypass food safety protocols – getting past even the most highly maintained security systems.
Implementing a preventative, risk-based food defence strategy can reduce the likelihood of a deliberate attack (which can also serve to mitigate against insurance because many policies do not cover the eventuality of a terrorist attack) and reassure stakeholders about the safety of your production and supply chain.
Our employee security solutions are designed specifically for FMCGs. They instil confidence in the status, background and likely intentions of existing employees or new recruits in an industry that has been identified by intelligence agencies as being at significant risk of attack.
Our solutions include gaining access to capabilities such as facial recognition technology.
FMCG Security gather intelligence records from agencies around the world and have access to information that is not available through regular sources.
Our investigations are unparalleled and harness information from hundreds of intelligence, financial, criminal and dark-net sources, allowing us to dig deeper than any commercial organisation in the United Kingdom. We can access more than 90% of data whereas other companies can only access 14%.
If you feel that you qualify for a vulnerability assessment we can arrange to brief key stakeholders at your premises upon industry threats, intelligence gathering and how best to embed intelligence-led countermeasures within your organisation.
Seminars are confidential and conducted by agents acting at the forefront of counter-terrorism.
