Intelligence that holds up when someone pushes back.
Most risk reports are a search history with a logo on the front. Ours are graded, sourced, tested against the alternatives, and signed by an accredited counter-terrorism intelligence assessor — because the point of an assessment is that it survives scrutiny.
Terrorism risk assessment
Martyn's Law readiness for premises and events. Threat assessment, public protection procedures, protective measures, and the documentation the regulator expects.

The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 places a statutory duty on qualifying premises to assess terrorism risk and act on it. Premises with a maximum occupancy of 200 or more fall within the standard duty. At 800 or more, the enhanced duty applies and the assessment must be documented for the regulator.
Most operators we speak to are in one of two positions: they assume they are below the threshold when their maximum occupancy says otherwise, or they know they are in scope and have no idea what discharging the duty actually looks like.
Written by someone who does this for a living
CM Intel is led by an intelligence assessor who has spent since 2018 in a counter-terrorism intelligence management unit, producing structured assessments that inform operational decisions, and briefing them to senior leaders and partner agencies. Before that, military intelligence with the British Army, specialising in human intelligence.
That background is the reason the work looks different. Threat assessment is a discipline with a methodology — attack planning cycles, hostile reconnaissance, vulnerability analysis, structured analytical technique. It is not a checklist exercise, and it is not something a template can do for you.
We hold no access to police, government or classified systems, and we do not offer any. Everything in our reports comes from open sources, public registers, lawfully obtained commercial data, and material you provide — every item graded and attributed so you can see exactly where it came from.
The difference is the discipline, not the search
Anyone can run a search. The question a board, a regulator or an opposing solicitor will ask is different: how do you know, how reliable was the source, what else could explain this, and what would change your mind?
Every CM Intel report answers those questions on its face. Sources carry a reliability grade and information carries a credibility grade. Single-source claims are flagged as single-source. Probability is expressed against a defined yardstick, with confidence stated separately, so “likely” means a specific thing rather than whatever the reader assumes.
Start with a call. No charge, no obligation.
Thirty minutes to establish whether you are in scope, what discharging the duty would involve, and what it would cost. You get a one-page summary either way, including if the answer is that you do not need us.
