What Drum Cussac. does

Drum Cussac, founded in 2003 and headquartered in Bournemouth, United Kingdom, has been integrated into GardaWorld's Private Strategic Group and operates today as Crisis24, a global consultancy delivering intelligence-led, technology-enabled business risk, security, and crisis management solutions. Crisis24 serves Global Fortune 500 companies, top universities, and international NGOs, providing critical event management, travel risk management, risk intelligence and analysis, global security assistance, mass notification, and medical evacuation and assistance. The company operates across six continents with global operations centers staffed 24/7, supported by a team of 200+ analysts worldwide and in-country response teams.

The company's product surface is organized as a multi-platform architecture: TopoONE (flagship risk management platform for security operations centers), Crisis24 Horizon (crisis management), Mass Notification (two-way critical event communication), Nonagon (security and operational platform), and AiiA (AI-powered risk intelligence). These platforms are delivered alongside professional services spanning duty of care, business continuity planning, insider threat risk management, cyber security risk management, executive protection, digital executive protection, maritime risk management, and embedded intelligence services. Documented enterprise deployments include McKesson Security Operations and complex operational responses such as multinational evacuations during Middle East hostilities.

The business model is enterprise B2B, primarily subscription and contract-based, with annual billing cycles and quote-based pricing. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales augmented by a GardaWorld referral channel, supported by content marketing (Global Risk Forecast, intelligence reports, case studies), industry events, and email/newsletter distribution. The customer base is concentrated in three primary segments — large multinational corporations, higher education institutions with international programs, and NGOs operating in high-risk regions — with secondary reach into C-suite executive protection. The company is privately held under GardaWorld and does not disclose revenue.
