JERSEY CITY, N.J. - TelAve -- Vismo has been appointed a commercial partner of GISF – the Global Interagency Security Forum for aid worker safety - and will demonstrate its personal security apps at GISF's Global Security Risk and Policy Conference 2026, London, May 26-28. The theme of the conference is "Collective Strength Against Emerging Threats".

GISF is a network connecting NGOs, UN agencies and donors to improve security risk managementof aid workers including duty of care, secure access to them, and other enhancements to their safety in complex operating environments.

As a partner, Vismo will work with GISF members to help improve the safety of aid organizations' employees, volunteers and contract workers through its smartphone apps and assistance via satellite devices, with a focus on at-risk areas and while they are traveling.

Says Vismo CEO Tom Cowling, "NGOs operate in an environment of escalating and increasingly complex security risks. They include targeted violence, kidnapping, arbitrary detention, disinformation and threats from emerging technologies such as drones - alongside tighter budgets and reduced enabling support.

Cowling continues, "NGOs don't manage security risks in isolation. Effective security risk management depends on a wider ecosystem of specialist services, from insurance, legal advice, and medical evacuation to risk analysis, training and crisis support.

"Many NGOs navigate all this alone and under time, human resource and financial pressures. The result is limited transparency, increased costs and greater difficulty in accessing appropriate support. That's where we come in with invaluable help and innovation."
