Prevention
Know what's coming. Act before the loss, not after it.
What We Offer
Reactive security — responding to incidents after they happen — is expensive and largely ineffective against organised criminal activity. Our Prevention service changes that by giving your team access to live, structured intelligence on the threats most likely to affect your business.
Drawing on multiple intelligence sources including our partner platform ShopSafe, we provide a continuously updated picture of the UK business crime landscape: current trends, linked criminal series, the most active offenders, vehicles of interest, and disposal routes for stolen goods. You see what's moving, who's behind it, and where it's heading.
Alerts are issued in real time for active offenders, individuals wanted for identification, prison releases, current Criminal Behaviour Orders (CBOs), and emerging crime series. Your team acts on current, verified intelligence — not last month's news.
What's Included
Every engagement is tailored to your organisation, but these are the core capabilities that underpin our Prevention service.
An intelligence dashboard covering the UK's most prolific business crime offenders, active hotspot areas, current crime trends, and vehicles of interest — accessible across your team.
Real-time notifications when known offenders are active in your area — giving your team advance notice to increase vigilance or take preventive action before an incident occurs.
Linked series, emerging trends, and organised crime group activity — analysed and presented in a way that allows your security function to anticipate and respond to threats systematically.
ANPR-corroborated vehicle intelligence from our nationwide site network — identifying vehicles repeatedly linked to criminal activity across multiple locations and incident types.
Understanding of how stolen goods move through distribution networks and where they ultimately end up — intelligence that informs both prevention strategy and police referrals.
Advance warning when high-risk individuals are released from custody or when active Criminal Behaviour Orders are issued — allowing your teams to prepare appropriate responses.
Sectors We Serve
Our Prevention service is used by businesses across a wide range of sectors facing business crime in its various forms. If your sector isn't listed, get in touch — we work with any business that needs specialist crime intelligence support.
FAQs
How is the intelligence compiled and verified?
Intelligence is drawn from multiple sources: subscriber business submissions, law enforcement disclosures, ANPR data, and open-source research. All information is reviewed for reliability and corroborated where possible before being published to the platform. We clearly indicate confidence levels where relevant.
Can alerts be configured for specific geographic areas or sectors?
Yes. Alerts can be filtered by region, sector, and offender type to ensure your team receives relevant, actionable notifications rather than a broad information feed. Configuration can be adjusted as your requirements change.
How does this differ from generic security newsletters or industry alerts?
The prevention platform is built specifically for UK business crime, combining operational intelligence from businesses on the ground with curated law enforcement information. It's current, specific, and actionable — not retrospective summaries or generic threat awareness.
