We live in an age whereby access to the latest information is readily available, but can it be trusted? Lady Askari uses multiple sources of information to ensure that we distribute, up to date news which is verified and analyzed so it can be useful to our employees and customers.

Travel Security Briefs

When traveling, it is important to know the security situation of that location. We provide travel security briefs for locations all around the world that cover everything from the current security situation, local culture and places to avoid. These are not generic travel security briefs. The information is tailored to your personal or business needs.

Country Security Assessments

Though Lady Askari is located in Nairobi, Kenya, we provide comprehensive security assessments for locations around the world. It is important for companies to know the amount of risk they are facing before sinking any investments and resources into a new location. Some countries may appear to be highly risky but with the right security team and proper networks, lucrative opportunities could be discovered.

Security Alerts

At Lady Askari we believe that an information lead project is essential to staying in front of potential risks. By having a knowledge of bubbling tensions, we can mitigate risks that can jeopardize the success of a project or worse, the security of your people, assets or reputation.

Elections are an incredibly important time for any country; an opportunity for citizens to choose their representatives. It is also a volatile time. Lady Askari’s election monitoring program takes a systematic approach to establishing our customers’ risk profile based on their historical relationship with the country and region. This risk profile is the baseline for the risk management process when developing the security & logistical support for the lead up to, during the elections and post elections monitoring mission.

SecurAid

We believe that security should be a part of the culture of every organization. One thing we have noticed is that for some non-profit organizations, security is often not a priority due to budget constraints or a culture of “we are not a target” (#NotATarget). SecurAid is a service focused on bringing unique and affordable security solutions to non-profit and humanitarian aid organizations, charities and small community projects.

We can provide in-house solutions or train your security focal points in the art of security networking, information collection, analysis and dissemination.

We are here to support you and the good work you do so please ensure to let us know if you are a non-profit or humanitarian organization.

Security Risk Assessments

Understanding risk is complex and without having a true understanding of the specific risks your organization faces, you play a risky guessing game trying to mitigate those risks. Lady Askari’s approach to security risks assessments is based on international best practices and ISO 31000 Risk Management Framework.

We not only provide a comprehensive risk assessment to your organization, but we also work with your various business units to help understand the risks they face and come up with practical and realistic solutions to mitigate those risks. Security risks, whether physical or digital, do not come neatly packaged in an off-the-shelf box, neither should the mitigation solutions.

Our approach does not stop once we hand the report over to you, as we believe that risk is ever-changing and by the time your organization reads the report, the risk might have changed. So we offer a continuous assessment approach through which we maintain a database of organizational risks and continually update the organization based on changes in the external and internal environment.

Our Lady Askari’s have a vast amount of experience in the collection and analysis of information that focuses on the digital, physical, political, technical, operational and community elements of risk. We are the regional experts in providing security risk assessments to our customers. No matter that type, level, or the geographical location of the assessment required, we are there for you.
