Haystax for School Safety

Haystax meets the constantly evolving challenges of providing safe learning environments for students, faculty, staff, and local security partners by integrating all vital incident and school facility information into a single, online platform. Physical assessments and behavioral assessments along with the ability to report and monitor incidents on or near campus are hallmarks of Haystax for School Safety. Know your threats sooner, respond faster, and effectively coordinate actions for all stakeholders.

Haystax for Public Safety

Law enforcement professionals are called upon daily to perform a broad range of tasks—from routine patrols, intelligence gathering and investigations to major crime and incident responses. Their challenge is to ensure public safety despite incomplete intelligence, limited cross-jurisdictional information sharing, and tight budgets. Haystax helps law enforcement agencies prepare for and respond to any crisis with a dynamic picture of emerging threats, rapid intelligence-collection and incident-reporting tools, and a seamlessly integrated user environment that ensures maximum collaboration and analytically sound command decisions for rapid response.

Haystax for Enterprise Security

Haystax has developed a suite of applications designed specifically to help corporate security decision-makers and analysts navigate this challenging environment. Haystax alerts corporate leaders to their most likely threats and natural hazards, provides critical security and operational information about each physical facility, regardless of its size or geographic location, and allows risk managers to identify and mitigate their biggest vulnerabilities. Moreover, the Haystax platform enables security teams to manage incidents and major events—from the ops center or out in the field.

Equipped with these insights, CSOs can better anticipate their risks, communicate with leadership and limit their company’s exposure to financial, legal and reputational liabilities.
