Case Study: Employees ex-partner threatens violence

Problem:

A prominent organization faced a critical security challenge when an employee reported receiving threats of physical violence from an ex-partner, who intended to confront her at her workplace. The incident raised significant safety concerns among staff, who were unsure how to respond to such a situation. The company lacked a clear protocol for dealing with external threats and assessing the risks posed to their employees and the workplace.

We worked closely with the HR department and the employee to develop a tailored response plan that included enhanced security measures, communication protocols, and coordination with local law enforcement. Our approach followed the principles of behavioral threat assessment, analyzing the individual's motivations, capabilities, and potential triggers for violence.
