Collaboration aims to enhance global security for workers and volunteers

Vismo, a York-headquartered specialist in tracking and security solutions, has forged a partnership with Control Risks, a global risk consultancy.

The collaboration combines Vismo’s enhanced GPS tracking technology with Control Risks’ expertise in risk management.

It is designed to offer clients stronger security solutions worldwide for their employees including contract workers, volunteers and those on work experience.

Vismo global sales director, Colin Dale, said: “Our partnership brings together two industry leaders, each with their own unique strengths.

“Vismo’s high-end tracking technology enables organisations to monitor and protect their employees, assets and operations in real-time while Control Risks provides strategic insights and actionable intelligence to mitigate potential threats.”

Gwendoline Pichon de Vendeuil, partner, Control Risks ONE (Control Risks’ Global Risk Operations Centre), added: “Together, we combine the best of location tracking from Vismo with a virtual team of risk and security specialists, integrated with clients’ businesses and available 24/7 in a dedicated Global Risk and Operations Centre.

“We instinctively understand that organisations need to get ahead of potential threats, feel equipped to respond in crises, and protect their people – no matter what.”
