Background
Crisis management and support are crucial for multinational organizations and businesses to enhance operational continuity. As such, crisis management and support are an essential part of a company’s security and emergency planning. APAC Assistance has a proven track record of helping multinational companies and organizations make better, timely, and well-informed operational risk management decisions. One of the profound ways we have enabled these businesses to make such timely decisions is by conducting crisis simulation exercises. This has in turn enabled them to markedly improve their security preparedness.
Our Approach
Crisis management and support is a multi-faceted and complex process. While carrying out these processes, APAC Assistance strives to provide tailor-made crisis management and support training and solutions relevant to the needs of a business. This means our approach is bespoke to the client’s needs. As such, our approach involves understanding clients’ requirements, reviewing their existing controls and plans, and then designing and conducting simulation exercises relevant and realistic to their risk exposure. At the tail-end of the exercises, APAC Assistance offers recommendations for better plan integration and addressing security deficits. This is a comprehensive solution to building resilience.
APAC Assistance has conducted crisis simulation exercises for multiple clients, including oil and gas companies in different geographical locations with varying risk profiles. We have successfully carried out these exercises in Timor-Leste, for example. The exercises feature different compounding scenarios with detailed security drills. These usually test the effectiveness of a company’s reporting lines, the flexibility to dynamic and evolving security incidents, and the overall response. APAC Assistance was instrumental in helping these multinationals to develop and update their emergency plans, strengthen escalation procedures, and enhance resilience, and security preparedness.
Multinational companies such as oil and gas often operate in high-risk, remote environments. These environments are synonymous with complex security challenges that may disrupt operations. As such, these environments present high risks for personnel, physical assets, finance, and reputation for such multinationals. The management of these businesses should avoid complacency and avoid getting caught flat-footed when unexpected security incidents and crises occur. This is the point at which the crisis simulation exercises come in. These will help the multinationals to understand the operational realities and, in the process, evaluate their security preparedness. APAC Assistance can conduct crisis simulation exercises for them to evaluate their security preparedness and help design and update security plans.
