INTERNATIONAL. Collinson, a global leader in travel experiences and medical assistance, has signed a strategic partnership agreement with AETOS and Crisis24 to launch AETOS Assist, an end-to-end integrated security and travel risk management service to businesses.
Singapore-based AETOS provides an integrated suite of safety and security services to businesses, organisations and government agencies, and Montreal-headquartered Crisis24 specialises in security risk and crisis management consulting.
The two companies are joining forces with Collinson to harness their combined expertise to provide corporate clients with a complete global risk mitigation service and support through AETOS Assist. The move will strengthen both Collinson and Crisis24’s presence in the Asia Pacific region.
Operating out of a 5G-enabled data-driven Command Centre, the partners said they will enable clients to effectively assess, mitigate and manage risks against the backdrop of a “continually evolving threat environment”.
AETOS Assist’s mission is to enable organisations to fulfil their duty of care and protect employees in the region and around the world.
From pre-travel risk assessment, real-time security intelligence and people tracking through to crisis management, emergency evacuations and global medical assistance, AETOS Assist will provide specialised support and round the clock peace of mind for business travellers and expatriates.
“This is the start of a great collaboration with talented teams. Our combined strengths, unique capabilities and innovative technologies provide seamless security, risk management and medical assistance to our clients in the Asia Pacific region and worldwide” – Crisis24 Director Consultancy Services APAC Richard Hancock
