Company Overview

Our History

Global Security Intelligence was launched in 2005, responding to a need both in the public and private sectors for a more holistic approach to security problems. Often, a single-minded focus on technology had resulted in less-than-effective system deployments.  We took a new approach, and executed on our vision of holistic solutions that encompass the full range of issues that impact whether technologies will be effectively woven into the fabric of an organization’s infrastructure, its processes, and ultimately, its culture.

Our Future

Our work today looks at a broad range of emerging technologies, all of which contribute to the safety, security, and autonomy of the individual, focusing our research efforts as keenly on issues of global impact as on those affecting the individual in day-to-day life.  Our projects look at how technologies affect the way we travel, communicate with friends and loves ones, interact in the self-service technological environment, and how we identify ourselves as individuals.  They examine how new technologies make us more safe in our homes, improve our ability to live in our homes as we age or learn to manage disabilities and chronic disease, work more efficiently or effectively, and stay engaged within our communities.  Our projects range from ones addressing public policy to those that develop, test, and bring to market breakthrough products and solutions that affect security, safety, autonomous living, and healthcare.

Our Research

In addition to project-based work for our clients, we also invest a significant portion of our efforts in empirical research that we believe will aid in driving important issues of policy or technology solution development.  Some of the topics of more common interest are posted to our Research Centres, and on our Publications page, you can find links to recent academic publications in peer-reviewed journals.  For more about our research efforts, link to the Policy and Research section of our site.

Our Clients

Our clients have a common need to ensure their own understanding of a rapidly evolving technological environment. They find that they must consider how these technologies impact existing policies and programmes as well as how a complex environment of legal and regulatory forces may drive the ability of these technologies to have a significant and timely impact.  For more about our clients (e.g., UK Technology Strategy Board, European Commission DG INFOSO, European Commission DG Research) and the work we are doing for them today, see our Projects page.
