GPS-enabled Devices Help Reduce Corporate Risk

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., July 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- NC4 Inc., a leader in revolutionizing safety and security, announced today the general availability of its newest offering ActivPoint^™. ActivPoint leverages smart phones' GPS and related technologies to capture precise position data in NC4 Risk Center, and capitalizes on the hallmark profiling capability of NC4 Risk Center to deliver timely, relevant intelligence to GPS assisted devices.

In today's unpredictable global threat environment, it is critically important for businesses to look for every opportunity to mitigate risk. With ever-increasing duty of care and health and safety legislation, the ability to protect professionals living, working or traveling abroad is paramount. ActivPoint's full feature set helps businesses better safeguard employees with:

• Tracking and Position Reporting delivers precise position data to NC4 Risk Center. Knowing where traveling employees are improves the ability to monitor and respond to risk, keeping them safe.
• Position-based Alerting provides real-time incident alerts, important updates and global security information based on the GPS-enabled device location. The flexibility of ActivPoint lets users define desired proximity settings within the app to receive only relevant threat information.
• Distress Signal allows users to send a distress signal to their corporate security, HR or travel risk management personnel.
• Geo fencing lets corporate security identify safe zones and no-go zones. The app will trigger a geo fence breach message when the device enters or exits an active geo fence zone, giving users immediate situational awareness of their surroundings.

"NC4 ActivPoint gives businesses an indispensable tool to help reduce risk exposure, and improve overall safety and security efforts," said NC4 President and CEO, Jim Montagnino. "By making targeted and timely NC4 Risk Center intelligence directly accessible to users anywhere they travel or work, ActivPoint will dramatically improve businesses' ability to monitor, analyze, report, and respond to risk."

For over a decade, Fortune 500 companies and government agencies have relied on intelligence from NC4 to support their security, business continuity, corporate travel, supply chain risk mitigation, and other daily operations. ActivPoint punctuates NC4's commitment to safety and security and is a necessity for businesses with a mobile workforce.

ActivPoint is supported on iPhone iOS 6 and above, and Android 2.3 Gingerbread and above, and is available for download from the iTunes App Store and Google Play. The download is free, but a NC4 Risk Center account is required for use.
