Embedded advisory
An experienced security analyst inside your team, working in your systems and routines.
The embedded model
Unlike a remote adviser, an embedded analyst becomes part of your operation. They attend coordination meetings, support field teams in real time and build knowledge of your context, without the cost of a full-time hire.
Ideal for
- Organisations without a dedicated security focal point
- Surge capacity during a crisis or scale-up
- Entry into a new country or programme
- Continuous oversight of field sites, corridors and centres
- Programme delivery in high-risk environments
- Documented risk management for UN, NGO and donor compliance
How a secondment works
Needs assessment
A structured briefing on context, team, risk profile and gaps shapes the adviser profile and scope.
Analyst matching
We match an analyst with field experience in your region and sector, including language and cultural fluency.
Integration
The adviser joins your coordination structures, is briefed on programmes and staff, and starts monitoring at once.
Ongoing delivery
Regular reporting, real-time incident support, access planning and the backing of SARI’s wider analyst network and platform.
Day to day
Risk monitoring and reporting
Verified intelligence on conflict, access, crime and unrest delivered to focal points every 24 hours.
