Financial Services / Banking Staff

Lone workers in the financial sector do face slightly different risks; however it is for obvious reasons that wealthy institutions take breaches of security extremely seriously. An increasing risk to staff in this sector is that of tiger kidnap or tiger robbery - where abduction plays a key role as part of facilitating an additional crime in tandem.

Statistics on such incidents often fail to reflect the true level of risk due to the fact that many potential tiger kidnaps are aborted whilst still at the ‘stalking' phase prior to completion. However with seven UK tiger kidnaps carried out in 2001 compared with twenty in 2006, a 100% increase over a five year period is apparent. (Source: Info 4 Security, 2010)

As well as external risk to institutions, fraud committed by employees continues to remain a massive concern within the sector. Data provided by CIFAS, The UK's Fraud Prevention Service, in 2010 stated there were nearly forty five percent more cases of staff fraud in 2009 that there were recorded in 2008.

The Identicom t-Series range coupled with our Mobile Workforce Management Platform facilitates a range of features that help organisations reduce risks associated with such incidents. The ability to store GPS positions in order to view staff movement and the creation of Geo-fences to enable definable alerts to be communicated facilitate this - both in terms of data provided to an Alarm Receiving Centre in the event of emergency, but also to lone worker managers.
