Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu endorses VSAT

Neil Basu, Assistant Commissioner Specialist Operations at the Metropolitan Police, when addressing the Current and Future Threat Landscape at Pool Re on 13th November 2018 described VSAT® as a truly “innovative approach” to risk mitigation and part of a broader approach “designed to promote and share security best practice”.

Pool Re uses VSAT® to reduce premium costs.

“Raising awareness of terrorism risk, as well as promoting and incentivising the adoption of proven risk mitigation measures, are core to Pool Re's strategy. VSAT® is the latest example of this," said Steve Coates, chief underwriting officer at Pool Re. "VSAT has been built to deal with contemporary terrorism threats and provide a framework for policyholders to benchmark their approach to terrorism risk management.

The company said that the tool will enable Pool Re member insurers to offer a 5 percent premium discount to insureds which implement proven and effective risk mitigation measures. It builds on Pool Re’s collaboration with the National Counter Terrorism Security Office’s Places programme which offers discounts for risks covered by the programme.

The vulnerability self-assessment tool (VSAT ®) is co-developed with ARL Partners, and is to all Pool Re member insurers for risks falling available now.

VSAT® launched for Assessment against BCRP National Standards

There are over 250 business crime reduction partnerships [BCRPs] operating in the UK. They range in size from limited schemes operating in small towns to city wide operations with several staff and hundreds of members. Working closely with police forces and councils they all serve to make their localities safer places to live, work and visit and, as funding for statutory services gets tighter, BCRPs are gaining in influence and importance.

What We Do

On line assessments

VSAT® enables you to conduct a security assessment to UK Government and internationally recognised standards. VSAT® is ideally suited for an organisation that needs to conduct any form of security review across multiple sites that are spread out geographically. VSAT® will take the user through a series of questions that are designed to identify any key security vulnerabilities and risks. Once the questions have been answered, the user will instantly receive an online report that provides an overall risk rating, a detailed explanation why certain risks may have been highlighted, and suggested mitigating strategies designed to reduce the risk.

Onsite audits

Arl partners have a team of trained and accredited security professionals who are available to conduct any on-site audits or verification visits to quality assure the responses provided on VSAT®. Using methodologies and standards first created by the UK Government for protective security, our consultants can also deploy as part of your team or independently to support or quality assure any security related work that might be required to close off any risks that might have been identified on VSAT®.
