Introduction to CRIMeS

Crime, Risk and Incident Management e-Service (CRIMeS) is a software service from tarantula.net for managing the reporting of information related to crime, risk, security, or any other likely or actual liability incidents within an organisation.

An innovative software service by tarantula.net, a UK-based leading software innovator providing workflow applications to FTSE 100 companies for past 10 years, CRIMeS helps organisations capture, manage, track and report on the information pertaining to the security and risk-related incidents.

CRIMeS is an incident reporting service for crime incidents, shrinkages, losses, business risks and whistle blowing for the whole business.

CRIMeS helps organisations record corporate-wide incidents related to damage/loss to employee or organisation property and assets – incidents such as burglaries, assaults, criminal damage, fraud, theft, misuse, behavioural misconduct etc. The complete details of the crime and the investigative findings are all stored and tracked with the help of the CRIMeS system.

A Web-Enabled Service

The CRIMeS is a Web-enabled software service that enables global organisations across all their operating businesses, record, manage, track, and report on the core security related information and processes across all their operating businesses.  

The software service is Web-enabled and therefore available 24X7, anywhere. The Internet-enabled service acts as a central repository of crime-related information and processes. As the reporting of incidents can be done instantly and in real-time, the service helps the operational security team/group to track, manage and analyse crime and risk reports, and alert the C-Level Management of a company, which can take appropriate action immediately.

It is readily accessible from anywhere within a corporate enterprise – allowing both the process management of crime handling reporting and insurance claims to be greatly improved, in terms of both time and resources management. All material insurance claims and processes are managed or aided as part of the service with all the information readily available organisation-wide in a single click.

C-Level Management’s Eagle Eye   

One of the main features of this service is its Reporting Capability, which allows organisations to track the trends in terms of internal crimes – the types of crime, the crime locations, the insurance claim and the compensation claim information, and the information related to proven and accused offenders.

This reporting service makes CRIMeS ideal for group-level reporting to the Board of a company to give them an instant enterprise risk view.

The service is deployable across an organisation to give a corporate-level view of the risk and liabilities at any time. The service allows real-time view on the level of risks the company is liable to, at any point in time, and allows any risk incidence to be reported straight to the board of a company.

Managing “whistle blowing” in a completely visible and audited way helps the C-level Management get a real-time view of the security and risk scenario and take strategic decisions accordingly.

Data Security 

Data Encryption is done for security purposes and this ensures maximum security for the data entered on the system. The service is Sarbanes Oxley Compliant.

Configurability – CRIMeS as a Managed Service  

The CRIMeS can be customised and configured to suit the security related processes of any organisation. The service records corporate-wide incidents in a central database.

This central database can be independently managed as a software service by tarantula.net, or be integrated with existing security systems and legacy software systems. Using agile implementation techniques, tarantula.net can implement your solution in days rather than months.

Proven & Trusted

The service is being currently used by O2, one of the largest telecom companies in the UK. Tarantula.net were instrumental in supplying a service that would help O2 capture, record, track and report the risks within the company.

O2 also use the information for shrinkage reporting from their shops so that the losses are immediately reportable at board level. Apart from all their mobile outlets any losses from office buildings and cell sites are also immediately visible.

The service allows for complete assessments of incidence handling with a full audit trail of events, allows an instant view of risk liability and reports to be generated to the board and will speed of the claims process.
