Client profile: a major account in the chemical industry, and a leading supplier of industrial gases.
Intervention context: in the wake of the riots in outlying urban areas of France in 2005, which jeopardised the physical integrity of some industrial sites, this client commissioned audits to check the robustness of the security measures in place to protect its installations.
Security risk: mission to check internal compliance standards, conducted via external audits on several sites in France, evaluating the security and resilience levels of installations in the face of external threats and possible acts of aggression and subversion.
Managerial risk: a conflict situation involving the company in confrontations (social unrest), with a high potential for collateral damage and systemic risks, calculating probabilities of critical situations emerging and the need to anticipate combinations of events unfolding.
