The Dragonfly Ltd (‘Dragonfly’) in partnership with WatchKeeper has released a new Covid-19 Risk Portal to help global organisations recover from the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Covid-19 Risk Portal is available free of charge to all Dragonfly SIAS clients and eligible organisations combatting the pandemic, including those involved in academic research and public bodies.
It combines industry-leading intelligence and data from Dragonfly’s Security Intelligence & Analysis Service (SIAS) with WatchKeeper’s innovative technologies for data integration and geospatial visualisation.
The Covid-19 Risk Portal gives users geospatial and situational awareness of the pandemic and its impacts worldwide in a powerful, simple and functional tool. It combines all SIAS reporting on Covid-19 with an aggregated feed and analytics of thousands of relevant data points from high-quality open-source data on Covid-19.
The Covid-19 Risk Portal enables global organisations to take data and intelligence-driven decisions as they manage the wider ranging impacts of the pandemic, and plan for the risks that lie ahead as restrictions begin to ease.
The Covid-19 Risk Portal provides:
- Curated high-quality real-time data feeds on publicly available Covid-19 data in a single platform, aggregating tens of thousands of data points
- A live feed of Dragonfly’s high-quality SIAS intelligence reports, assessments and near real-time alerts related to Covid-19 worldwide
- An interactive live map of international and domestic travel restrictions and their impact on business activities, curated by Dragonfly intelligence analysts
- A new country risk rating system of Covid-19 movement restrictions and their impact on business activity
- Dragonfly’s live country risk ratings related to medical and health risks
Reflecting both Dragonfly and WatchKeeper’s shared ethos of adaptive and innovative solutions driven by client requirements, the Covid-19 Risk Portal is designed to be evolutionary. The coronavirus pandemic is an extremely dynamic situation and as organisations face evolving challenges to respond, the Covid-19 Risk Portal will integrate new data sources and analytics to ensure users have the latest and best intelligence at their disposal.
