Periodic (normally weekly) safety coordination meetings to facilitate inter-agency information sharing and cooperation. The meeting is led by INSO staff who conduct a comprehensive briefing of recent events before opening the floor to a roundtable discussion.

Aimed at newly arrived international staff, INSO orientation covers general history and background to the context and conflict, historical and contemporary security dynamics, current security risk assessment (key threats and trends) along with actor mapping and introduction to local assistance resources.

For security matters of extreme urgency or sensitivity - such as life threatening injury, armed attack, fatality or kidnapping – INSO staff will be available to provide expert assistance to senior NGO crisis responders with urgent advisory, information or referral services such as liaison with quick reaction forces, reference to medical services or advice on incident management.

INSO can conduct a comprehensive Site Security Review (SSR) of any NGO facility, residence, office, sub-office, warehouse, programme office etc which evaluates it against a context specific checklist of criteria - such as access control, stand-off distance, natural hazards, local population etc - and provides recommendations.

Where requested, INSO is able to utilise its extensive field presence and access to offer unique, high quality and site specific training curriculums that are contextualised to the local environment through the integration of actual incident types and trends prevalent in the area. The focus is on sustainability and organisational level impact.
