Area and destination assessments
Review a place against available incident, infrastructure, environmental and travel context, with source coverage and gaps visible.
Security intelligence platform
Security and location intelligence for protective operations
Area-IQ brings mapped public data and official guidance together for security teams assessing destinations, sites and ports. Journey planning is available when the task involves a route. The evidence supports analyst judgement and requires direct operational checks.
Operational use cases
Built around security-service delivery
Start with the place and the decision. The same evidence model can support protective advances, venue and destination reviews, overseas support, maritime work and route planning. Each dataset keeps its own source and limits.
Protective intelligence
Build an evidence trail for advance work, venue reviews and close-protection planning, with sources and limitations kept alongside each record.
Overseas security support
Search destinations worldwide and combine operational facilities with current official travel-advice context where validated coverage exists.
Maritime security intelligence
Review ports, terminals, coastal infrastructure and surrounding-area context for maritime task planning and client briefings.
Area risk reports
Present sourced findings, coverage limits and verification requirements in web and printable client briefs.
Journey management support
When a task involves movement, compare routes, disruption and screened support facilities along the corridor.
Evidence workflow
From search to defensible brief
Every useful result should answer three questions: where it came from, when it was checked and what it cannot prove.
- 1
Define the area
Search a destination, site, venue or port and state the decision the assessment supports.
- 2
Review the evidence
Separate official records, screened open data and unavailable coverage before drawing conclusions.
- 3
Prepare the brief
Use source-attributed data and a printable brief; add analyst findings and verification tasks before client delivery.
Assessment demonstrations
Three places, one evidence standard
These entry points test the same structure across a UK city, an overseas destination and a port. Each starts with a decision, shows only validated evidence, identifies gaps and leaves operational verification with the analyst.
UK city
Leeds
- Decision
- Orient a protective team before a client visit.
- Evidence available
- Audited 12-month incident baseline and a bounded environmental screen.
- Still to verify
- Street-level conditions, the exact venue and current alerts still require checking.
Overseas destination
Dubai
- Decision
- Identify support infrastructure and official country guidance for an overseas task.
- Evidence available
- Screened operational facilities and FCDO travel-advice context where validation passes.
- Still to verify
- Facility capability, access and operating status must be confirmed directly.
Port and coastal area
Port of Piraeus
- Decision
- Screen nearby medical, emergency, diplomatic and maritime support around a port.
- Evidence available
- A bounded facility search and official Greece travel-advice context where available.
- Still to verify
- Port functions, local security arrangements and waterside access require operational verification.
