What is TRIS?
TRIS is a highly evolved system for monitoring emerging
threats and live incidents in real-time on a global scale that
could impact the health, safety or security of personnel and
other assets. Used by corporations worldwide as a definitive
business resilience tool, our highly skilled teams of analysts
operate 24/7, investigating a multitude of sources to identify
relevant incidents and immediately report them to subscribers
via a leading-edge alerting platform.
The digital map dashboard offers a multitude of data feeds
and overlays, and can be configured further to incorporate
external sources of pertinent risk information. The ability
to personalise the dashboard, so it only displays information
that’s crucial to your role, helps you instantly visualise the
locality of emerging threats or live incidents in relation to
your employees and other assets.
Dashboard data feeds and overlays:
■■ Incidents
■■ Travellers
■■ Expats
■■ Property
assets
risk levels
■■ Heat mapping
■■ Custom external data feeds, such as
severe weather and crime statistics
■■ System usage monitoring and
custom widgets
■■ Country
TRIS dashboard
The use of effective search tools enables
you to capture detailed information
about those who could be impacted
by an incident, so you can either contact
affected individuals directly from the
system or export and share the data
with concerned colleagues.
TRIS also features a powerful analysis
tool underpinned by risk data
captured by our analysts over many
years. Subscribers can use the
information to understand current
incident trends and compare with
historic data to identify risk patterns
and consider future trends.
In addition, TRIS provides corporations
and their employees with a consolidated
resource of information for all countries
and major cities around the world;
focussing on facts that can be
depended on to support business
travellers in unfamiliar environments,
and those responsible for their safety
with preparing risk assessments
– essential for compliance with duty
of care obligations.

Who is TRIS
designed for?
TRIS is beneficial to all departments
within globally operating
corporations who have a level of
responsibility for ensuring employee
safety and business continuity,
including security, risk, travel, HR
and insurance. It delivers a wealth
of risk information consolidated
into one central resource, which
assists in understanding the current
risk profile of every country and
major city around the world.
In addition, TRIS allows for the
compilation of risk assessments,
security briefs and development
of travel safety policies.
TRIS is operated through a secure
and easy to use internet based
portal, and utilises innovative
technology and software that has
been developed totally in-house
by Anvil’s highly skilled IT developers
and risk analysts.
The system can be linked to corporate
intranets, so that employees in general
can benefit from access to all or some
of its features. Having the right information at
the right time is critical to protect
the corporation and its employees
from threats and incidents that could
affect not only the health, safety and
wellbeing of the workforce, but also
business profitability, shareholder
value and brand reputation.
How does TRIS work?
TRIS is supported by a global team of risk analysts who operate
24/7 to identify and report on incidents and events that could
impact employee safety or business continuity. In addition, the
team is responsible for continually updating risk information
stored in the TRIS database to ensure the content is always the
very latest available from our wide range of risk data sources.
Our analysts monitor literally 1,000’s of sources to gather
relevant information, including:
■■ International,
national and local media, news wires,
social media and retained in-country sources
■■ The World Health Organization (WHO), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention and United Nations
■■ Warnings and advisories from overseas embassies and
consuls regarding security conditions for the countries
in which they are operational
■■ In-country police, law enforcement, military, security and
intelligence services
■■ Government and NGO organizations
■■ Anvil’s network of global partners
and own employees located around the world
As well as reporting the established facts about an incident
and providing general advice, our analysts will geocode
the exact location of the incident with longitude and
latitude coordinates, and assign a threat level numeric
indicator, so subscribers can understand the potential
impact of the incident.
Alerts are issued within 15 minutes of our analysts becoming
aware of the incident and are sent via email as standard. Other
communication methods can be adopted as specified by our
clients through custom designed incident response procedures.
“It’s no good hearing about an incident hours after it
has happened. We use TRIS as we appreciate the speed
of reporting and concise alerts – it’s highly effective”

Personal alerts
Nobody benefits from an inbox full
of irrelevant emails, so TRIS allows
users to create alert profiles that
can be defined by exact geographic
location, incident categories and
threat levels of interest specific to their
travel plans or business operations.
Grouped under the six incident
category headings of Crime, General
Safety, Health, Security, Transportation
and Other, there are currently 75
different incident categories to select
from. Alerts can also be set to continue
indefinitely or for a defined time period.
Fixed assets and supply chain
TRIS is exceptional in its approach
to storing information and alerting
organisations to threats and incidents
that could impact physical assets, like
office buildings and distribution centres,
or other key infrastructure, such as
supply chain routes. Subscribers can
upload 1,000’s of assets and allocate
them to groups and fields that can be
fully customised to match the unique
structure of the client organisation.
Proximity Alerts
Proximity alerts are triggered when
an incident is reported within a pre-set
distance of an asset. As with personal
alerts, users are able to define what
type of alerts they want to receive by
geographic location, incident category
and threat level. In addition, they
can set up a profile to generate an
alert according to the distance of
the incident from the asset.
TRIS and the Employee Travel
Monitoring System
TRIS can be fully integrated with Anvil’s
traveller tracking solution, the Employee
Travel Monitoring System (ETMS).
As soon as an incident is reported
within TRIS, the systems will
cross-correlate to determine the
identity of any travellers that could
be impacted by the incident and
an alert will be sent automatically,
either directly to the travellers or
to those responsible for their safety.
ETMS recently won a Queen’s
Award for Enterprise in the
category of continuous
innovation. The UK’s most
prized business accolade
was awarded to Anvil in
recognition of the benefits
the system provides to
business travellers and
their employers in regard to
implementing effective risk
management strategies.
What makes TRIS unique?
The system’s uncluttered design and intuitive interface makes TRIS easy to
use, but the major benefit of TRIS over competing systems is the ability to tailor
and configure the platform to meet an organisation’s unique requirements.
As standard, an administrator of the system will be able to:
■■ Upload
information about additional cities or areas of specific interest
to their organisation
■■ Adjust country and city/area risk levels according to the organisation’s
appetite to risk
■■ Define high risk areas within a country
■■ Edit sections of country and city/area content provided by Anvil
■■ Add company specific advice in regard to travel or operations within
countries and cities/areas
■■ Add their own unique data sources, such as contact details for in-country
security managers, lists of approved hotels and links to travel or
insurance policy documents
■■ Configure the dashboard to display a full screen global map view;
ideal for security control room environments
Country and Area
Information Pages
TRIS has a dedicated page of
comprehensive risk management
information for every country and
major city around the world. Along
with content provided by Anvil’s
risk analysts, TRIS offers a myriad

international travel and operations.
Each country and city/area is
assigned a risk level, so that users
can quickly understand the risk
profile of the location. In addition,
