Capability

Physical Security simulations

What is this capability?

Site and security teams practice protecting people under direct threat, from bomb threats to active shooters.

Run these as Microsimulations, full-scale simulations, or facilitated by our team of experts. Each one keeps a record of the decisions your team makes under pressure.

Simulations in this capability

Emergency vehicle at a site under threat, illustrating the A Dark Day: Bomb Threat Microsimulation

Physical SecurityA Dark Day: Bomb ThreatAn anonymous caller threatens the safety of colleagues at a key site location with the imminent detonation of a bomb. Strategic response teams must move through critical decisions regarding the threat to delineate roles, responsibilities and delegated authorities in alignment with emergency response teams and stakeholders.

Smoke from a building fire, illustrating the Access Denied: Building Fire Microsimulation

Physical SecurityAccess Denied: Building FireNavigate a building fire by ensuring employee safety, coordinating with emergency services, communicating with stakeholders, and planning for alternative business locations due to site inaccessibility.

Emergency lights at night, illustrating the Shooter Threat: Event Cancellation Microsimulation

Physical SecurityShooter Threat: Event CancellationAn active shooter crisis unfolds at a major city stadium just hours before a high-profile sporting event. Participants must address the immediate physical security threat while also evaluating the potential need for event cancellation. This involves balancing the safety of attendees and staff against the financial implications of activating event cancellation insurance

Emergency lights at night, illustrating the VIP Down: Severe Illness Microsimulation

Physical SecurityVIP Down: Severe IllnessAn executive is found to be severely ill while travelling to one of the company's offshore locations. This microsimulation exercises decision models and response protocols for dealing with the safety and potential repatriation of a VIP in an offshore location.

Protest crowd at night, illustrating the Disruption: Event Chaos Microsimulation

Physical SecurityDisruption: Event ChaosManage an increasingly violent protest near a major conference, ensuring team safety, stakeholder communication, and preparedness for escalating risks.

Emergency lights at night, illustrating the High Security: Active Shooter Microsimulation

Physical SecurityHigh Security: Active ShooterHandle an active shooter incident near your organization by maintaining situational awareness, securing employee safety, and managing communications.

Emergency lights at night, illustrating the Intercepted: International Security Threat Microsimulation

Physical SecurityIntercepted: International Security ThreatA high-stakes security incident involving the violent interception of a corporate executive team's convoy during transit between office locations. The simulation aims to evaluate organizational readiness, response protocols, and decision-making processes during an international physical security crisis.

Which iluminr simulations cover Physical Security?

Simulations for Physical Security include A Dark Day: Bomb Threat, Access Denied: Building Fire, Shooter Threat: Event Cancellation, VIP Down: Severe Illness, Disruption: Event Chaos and High Security: Active Shooter, among others.

Who should take part?

These simulations are most often run with Crisis Management, Operations, People & HR and Communications.

Can I build a 12-month testing program?

Yes. The iluminr program builder suggests a 12-month plan of simulations for Physical Security. You can add or remove scenarios and export the plan as a PDF for your board.

Can we customize these simulations?

Yes. Run any template as is, tailor the roles, plans, critical services and injects to your organization, or build your own from scratch with the iluminr builder.
