SecurAssist® addresses the complexities of the business traveler
Princeton, New Jersey,
October 12,
2004 –
Assist America, Inc., the nation’s largest provider of global emergency
services through employee benefit plans, and TD International, LLC, a
consultancy that focuses on strategic business intelligence, are working
together to help clients respond to security threats in the U.S. and abroad.
SecurAssist®, the security arm of Assist America, affords the traveler an
added level of worldwide protection that extends beyond emergency medical
assistance.
“The changing global economy demands that we anticipate client needs and
provide benefits that are available in a real-time 24/7 world.” said George
W. Howard, III, Chairman and President of Assist America. “A partnership of
this kind is a good fit for both organizations. With TD International’s
skills and expertise to complement our own, we are able to offer highly
specialized global security services that protect employers, employees – and
their dependents – anywhere in the world.”
“The overseas environment is becoming increasingly hostile. U.S. companies
are aware that to limit their liability exposures they need to upgrade their
security awareness and protection programs as well as their crisis
management planning,” said William A. Green, III, Managing Director of TD
International.
SecurAssist®’s comprehensive program of security and intelligence consulting
services helps companies and their employees respond to a multitude of
threats ranging from terrorism to social unrest, political evacuation,
kidnapping and extortion. Services include vulnerability assessment,
executive protection, due diligence, threat assessment and monitoring,
special event security protection,
contingency planning and 24-hour emergency response. Employers, travelers,
expatriates and their families receive timely information on critical
issues, and have password-protected access to country profiles, case
studies, a monthly online newsletter and targeted advisories on critical
issues.
Clients benefit from the support of TD International’s team of highly
trained professionals, representing military special operations, law
enforcement and government intelligence agencies, who offer practical
experience and proven solutions to address any need.
