Crisis Management
In today’s highly competitive market place, it may take little more than the malicious actions of one individual to adversely affect the public perception of a company or organisation overnight.
Regardless of whether this is attributable to the actions of a disgruntled employee, or an external threat, for example product/cyber contamination and blackmail by those intent on financial gain, the potential consequences for the victim can be severe. The common factor in any instance is that many years spent developing brand awareness or corporate image, and the associated investment involved, are at risk of being seriously damaged, possibly taking years to recover.
Recognising that an extortion demand represents a major crisis for any organisation, Sub Rosa can offer many years of experience in this area. We appreciate that such demands are often accompanied by a threat not to report the matter to the police, a stipulation which in itself only serves to increases pressure upon the organisation and adds a dilemma, at a time when the victim is already trying to establish an immediate and positive course of action.
Our service provides initial advice, reassurance and direction to our client at a time of uncertainty and anxiety for them. Our aim is to limit potential damage to the organisation whilst also securing vital evidence, if appropriate to do so. We will also covertly initiate police involvement, a facility which we see as being of significant value, both in terms of leaving the perpetrators unaware of any police interest and also avoiding adverse publicity for our client.
Sub Rosa has at its disposal a number of options which may make a key difference in terms of minimising financial or reputable loss to a client subjected to this type of crime, whilst also leading to the earliest possible identification of the offender(s).
We offer our services, utilising specialists who have extensive experience in this field, which include:
-
Threat assessment and initial advice
-
Covert scene attendance as appropriate
-
Evidence preservation
-
Covert crime reporting and police liaison
-
Media relations
We also offer the services of a major PR consultancy on a 24hr, 7 day a week basis to cater for any media interest.
