The partnership strengthens PSS’s ability to provide clients with timely, relevant and decision-focused intelligence alongside our established security, journey management, risk assessment and operational support services.
Better information for better security decisions
Organisations operating in Iraq require more than general news updates. Their decisions depend on understanding what is happening in the specific provinces, cities and operating areas where their people, projects and assets are located.
Conterra monitors more than 650 curated sources across Iraq and analyses thousands of incidents each year. Before information enters the platform, it is checked by an analyst for relevance and credibility. Incidents are then structured by location, severity, method, target, actor and operational significance, with sources clearly identified and reliability assessed. Learn more about the Conterra platform.
This provides PSS with a deeper and more consistent intelligence picture to support:
Journey planning and movement approvals;
Route selection and contingency planning;
Site and project security assessments;
Monitoring of protests, road closures and civil unrest;
Identification of emerging threats and regional trends;
Client briefings and operational updates;
Incident response and escalation decisions; and
Longer-term security and business-continuity planning.
Combining intelligence with operational capability
The partnership brings together Conterra’s intelligence platform and analytical capability with PSS’s local knowledge, nationwide operating experience and established security delivery capability.
PSS personnel can use Conterra’s verified incident feed, interactive mapping, regional filters, analytical reporting and incident alerts to strengthen the information supporting operational decisions. Significant developments can be communicated rapidly, while weekly analysis provides greater context on emerging patterns, potential scenarios and escalation indicators.
This is particularly valuable for organisations operating in complex or changing environments, where local developments may affect personnel movements, supply routes, project schedules or site-security requirements.
Depending on the client’s service requirements, PSS can incorporate Conterra intelligence into:
Daily and weekly security reporting;
Threat and risk assessments;
Journey management processes;
Route and area assessments;
Project security plans;
Executive and traveller briefings;
Incident alerts and advisory notices; and
Operational recommendations.
Focused on Iraq
Conterra has been built around the Iraqi operating environment. Its coverage extends beyond major national events to include provincial security incidents, local protests, infrastructure disruption, military activity, checkpoint developments and other events that may directly affect day-to-day operations.
This depth of coverage complements PSS’s own operational presence and local engagement, enabling us to provide clients with information that is both strategically relevant and practically useful.
Commenting on the partnership, PSS said:
“Effective security decisions depend on both strong operational capability and reliable information. Our partnership with Conterra strengthens the intelligence behind our planning and helps PSS and our clients understand what is happening, why it matters and what action may be required. It is an important addition to the integrated security and risk-management support we provide across Iraq.”
Supporting confident operations in Iraq
Through this partnership, PSS is continuing to invest in the systems, technology and analytical resources required to support modern security operations.
By combining verified intelligence with experienced personnel, local access and professional operational delivery, PSS can help clients identify developing risks earlier, make better-informed decisions and maintain safe and resilient operations across Iraq.
