Global Security Operations

Center (GSOC)

Our team of 40 professionals in the GSOC—former military, LE, Intel, Security, academic MH trained professionals hold decades of experience in effectively navigating challenges such as sudden geopolitical unrest, natural disasters and conflict zones.

Having access to a specialist team enhances your business resilience, meaning you can focus internal resources on core operations.

To assist in preemptive threat mitigation, our analysts will notify each member when events are about to take place or have just begun that will affect their trip so we can re-route and avoid the conflict. For example, when we become aware that conflict-fueled protest is planned in the general area of travel, we can redirect so that our members are not affected.

With each call to the Viollis Group International Crisis Center, our analysts will immediately triangulate the location of the caller and geofence their location. We will immediately begin to triage the situation while notifying our local QRF members for deployment if need be.

When calls are not of an urgent nature but still require prompt assistance, the assistance button will provide direct connection to our non-emergency section for immediate assistance.

When the crisis center receives the call, the information appears on the analyst’s screen along with member’s exact location.

We utilize near real-time satellite tracking in concert with various intelligence software packages such as what3words for immediate longitude and latitude positioning.

All operations are fully managed by a dedicated risk management expert for complete peace of mind.
