The Security Overview section gives you a map overview of all your users and facilities together with the location of recent incidents. It allows you to quickly identify who might be at risk and communicate with them to make sure they are OK. With the Quick Selector feature, you also have the option to select an area on the map and directly communicate to everyone within that area.
You can choose between several map views — including Risk Map, Covid-19 Map, Default Map, and Satellite Map — to which you can add information layers to customize your view.
In the Risk Map, all countries are given a color based on their overall risk level. You can click on a specific country to get more in-depth risk information. Our risk assessment methodology is based on ten risk categories and five risk levels produced by our internal team of risk analysts. You also have the option to edit risk information to align it with any requirements you might have.
The Covid-19 Map illustrates the total number of confirmed Covid-19 cases in a region or country in the last 30 days. You can also add Covid-related information layers, such as Covid-19 restrictions and quarantine areas, to the map, for a complete global update.
Quarantine Areas imposed by the local government are marked with a squared pattern, as shown in the image above.
When adding Covid-19 restrictions as an information layer to the map you are provided with insights regarding international travel restrictions, including requirements for PCR testing on arrival and departure, internal restrictions (workplace closings, cancellation of public events, restrictions on gatherings, etcetera) and information from airline operators in the country.
Travel Warnings are all geographical areas where you currently are advised not to travel by ministries of foreign affairs.
Another information layer you can plot on the map in the Security Overview section is Alerts, which are notifications about incidents within any of the following categories:
All alerts are also assigned a risk level and impact radius by Safeture’s analysts. The impact radius is represented by a circle around the incident on the map, which is dynamic and varies depending on whether it is seen as a local or country-wide incident. The radius can be set to a distance between 10 km and 1000 km. An incident can also have multiple impact locations.

If any employee or facility is located within the radius of the incident, the Safeture Platform will identify the threat and notify Administrators immediately. The end-user will get an alert and information about the event and advice on how to act. For medium- and high-risk alerts, end-users are also requested to confirm that they are OK in the Safeture Mobile Application.
Learn more about the alert publication process on Safeture’s website.
If you tick the Personnel box, the system will plot all users on the map. The icons representing your users are given different colors based on their position accuracy, which reflects the privacy levels set in the Safeture Mobile Application.
For users with a blue icon, exact GPS coordinates are given.
For users with their privacy filter set to City Level, their position is anonymized to within a 20 x 20 km square.
This displays just the region or state where the employee is located. The subregions available in the system are defined by the ISO 3166-2 standard, which means that countries are divided into states, regions, provinces, counties, or similar.
A striped icon signals that there is no up-to-date location report for that user. The threshold for when a location report should be marked as old can be configured in the Settings section of the Web Portal.
When an end-user has activated the emergency button, the icon will turn red and flash as a configurable audio alert is activated.
In any case of a missed check-in, the user’s icon will turn yellow.
In addition to phone locations provided through the Safeture Mobile Application, the Safeture Platform can also position employees through travel booking data. This is done by integrating with your Travel Management Company (TMC) to stream the travel data to the platform.
Any static location, such as your offices, factories, warehouses, stores, etcetera can be added as a facility and plotted on the map to identify any potential threat to the people working there.
With the Quick Selector, you can easily draw a shape on the map and message all users located within that area. The selected area can be part of a country, city, or even multiple countries at once.
Scheduled Check-ins enable a systematic way of making sure your employees are OK. As an Administrator, you can set specific dates and times when you want individuals or groups to check in. A missed check-in will trigger notifications to selected Administrators and a new widget to appear on the Dashboard. The check-in time is automatically set to each end-user’s current time zone.

When managing several accounts at the same time, the Account Select function enables you to quickly switch views for different accounts. This function can be found at the top right of the Web Portal on all modules.
