Base Operations

Base Operations is a Washington, DC-based security technology company that aggregates and standardizes global crime, violence and unrest data into a SaaS platform used by corporate security departments. The product converts fragmented local threat data into validated, comparable risk intelligence that can be analyzed at country, city, district and sub-mile levels, allowing security teams to assess individual addresses, routes, events and entire location portfolios from a single dashboard.

Core platform components include BaseScore, a 0-100 risk scoring system that weights incidents by crime severity and normalizes for population density so locations in different countries can be compared directly, with monthly tracking and threshold alerts; BaseFusion, which blends a customer's internal incident data with Base Operations data; an API for pushing scores into GIS environments, data warehouses and BI dashboards; and Base Report, a self-service threat assessment for any address. The company states coverage of more than 5,000 cities globally and granularity down to sub-mile (0.75 mile) and 0.1m levels depending on the product view.

An earlier description of the company's offering, Base Enterprise, characterized it as a SaaS solution connecting a company's security department with employees based in or traveling to emerging markets, with employee check-in for crisis management, route planning, real-time notifications, interactive emergency plans and visualizations.
