CPAG collects data via a detailed online assessment, capturing details such as the location of a property, its associated parties, and its security layout.
CPAG collects data via a detailed online assessment, capturing details such as the location of a property, its associated parties, and its security layout.
Step 2
Analyse
The details collected from the online assessment are amplified using real-time and historical data. A scoring algorithm then processes all data into risk scores and assigns appropriate recommendations.
Step 3
Deliver
The results are automatically generated in a detailed PDF report that combines written analysis with visual summaries of risk, resilience, and recommended actions.

A traditional security audit can take 10 to 20 hours to complete and draft a report. CPAG automates the process, enabling anyone to conduct a terrorism risk assessment online. Users simply enter details about a site or event, including its location and existing security procedures and measures, and CPAG will analyse this information to determine levels of threat, vulnerability, and resilience. A comprehensive report is automatically generated and delivered as a PDF.

CPAG combines multiple data sources to support objective, evidence-based terrorism risk assessments. Real-time and historical datasets provide context on threat activity and trends, while geospatial information helps analyse location-based exposure. Historical data is compiled and maintained by a counterterrorism specialist through an internal global terrorism database that informs each assessment. This data-driven approach ensures every assessment is consistent, repeatable, and grounded in measurable risk factors.
