WHY DEVELOP A FOOD DEFENCE STRATEGY?

The risks associated with a deliberate terrorist attack on your organisation can be insurmountable. Such threats to your operation, process or product may bypass food safety protocols – getting past even the most highly maintained security systems.

Implementing a preventative, risk-based food defence strategy can reduce the likelihood of a deliberate attack (which can also serve to mitigate against insurance because many policies do not cover the eventuality of a terrorist attack), reassure stakeholders about the safety of your production and supply chain, provide increased brand protection, customer confidence and help to facilitate internal benchmarking and strategic risk management.

FMCG SECURITY WAS WAS FOUNDED BY THE FMCG ACADEMY AND SENTRY INTELLIGENCE

The combined knowledge of and experience within our respective sectors provides us with detailed insights into the logistical frameworks of the FMCG sector, in particular, critical access points that are vulnerable to threat and left largely exposed.

Such access points are of grave concern to intelligence agencies who recognise that FMCGs provide a natural delivery system for terrorists with large-scale intent.

Our experience within and unique insights of the FMCG and intelligence sectors positions us at the forefront of FMCG security.

We work with FMCG food manufacturers to reduce risk to the food supply chain in terms of potential threats, process vulnerabilities and countermeasures. We pay particular attention to employees who, with intent could swiftly destroy the economic status of your organisation.

FMCG SECURITY

Our vision is to secure the UK’s FMCG framework by detecting and preventing crisis before it emerges.

There is evidence that threats to and within the food manufacturing process are moving faster than solutions provided under TACCP and VACCP. Vulnerability is correctly identified in ‘The White Paper’ (noted in PAS 96 2014) but fails to understand the magnitude of the threat created by rapidly moving geopolitical dynamics and gives only basic remedies under the broad heading of ‘Know your people’.

Do our solutions seek to replace TACCP? Quite the opposite. They should form a fundamental part of your TACCP compliance.

We gather information from hundreds of intelligence, financial, criminal and dark-net sources to deliver the most comprehensive employee screening process in the UK.

On average each food industry attack investigated by the intelligence services has led to the identification of over 20 persons likely to have been involved.

These are not ‘Lone Wolf’ attacks.

VISION

INTELLIGENCE

It cost the Russians less than £2,000 to mount a mainland attack on the UK. The result was devastating with town centres closed, hospitals quarantined, transport and businesses affected, a £10m clean-up bill and three people seriously ill with one fatality. More importantly, it created palpable fear in the population. Every terrorist group in the world now knows how to disrupt the UK easily, if they have a delivery system. The food and water distribution services provide a simple accessible delivery system, most of which is unguarded. It is a matter of great concern to the intelligence services.

This is not a new threat, but it is a significantly enhanced threat since Skripal, and an attack will occur. This is not to minimise the risks from rogue employees, pressure groups and ideologically motivated individuals, but the solution as far as there is one lies in taking adequate precautions based on comprehensive intelligence.

SKRIPAL CHANGED EVERYTHING…

If you are an FMCG manufacturing company between 10-100,000 employees or an agency supplying staff to FMCG manufacturers, we would be happy to brief key stakeholders at your premises upon industry threats, inte l l igence gather ing and how best to embed i n t e l l i g e n c e - l e d c o u n t e r m e a s u r e s w i t h i n y o u r organisation.

VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT

Premeditated contamination at any point in the supply chain could result in catastrophic consequences both socially and economically.

It is imperative to understand the types of threat we face, identify critical control points where an attack may occur and subsequently embed countermeasures to instil formidable layers of security that also act as a deterrent.

Please visit our website for further information.

INDUSTRY THREATS The risks associated to cyber-terrorism is part and parcel of the increased technological adoption across supply chains. It is imperative to take action to combat IT security threats in addition to the more traditional security measures deployed to combat the physical risks of deliberate food contamination.
