The platform is accessible online or through a dedicated app and is fully integrated and configurable to align with an organization’s policies. Users can request personalized analyst reports directly from the platform.
The partnership between Mastercard and Crisis24 aims to empower businesses in the EEMEA region to take a proactive approach to managing potential threats and ensuring the safety of their employees during business trips.
