Map security risk and brief executives in minutes

Plot incidents, pull in live global event data, and turn it into a clear risk picture. Share the map by link or export it for the board. No GIS training required.

A security risk briefing map on a clean world basemap. Red and orange circular risk markers cluster over several regions to show high and medium threat levels, with smaller yellow markers for low-level events. Each marker has a short black label such as 'Civil unrest', 'Protest', and 'Border incident'. A few facility markers shown as small black building icons labeled 'Office' and 'Warehouse' sit near the risk clusters. Soft shaded heat zones in translucent red sit under the densest clusters. A simple legend box in the corner lists High, Medium, and Low risk with matching colored dots. Flat 2D top-down vector style, clear labels, no 3D shading, no decorative shapes.

Why Scribble Maps for Security Risk Mapping

Plot risk in one place

Drop markers for incidents, threats, and assets. Color them by severity. Import a spreadsheet of events and they land on the map by address or coordinates.

Add live global events

Pull in GDELT global event data to see protests, unrest, and conflict as they are reported. Filter by region and event type so the map shows what matters.

Brief executives fast

Share the map by link or export to PDF and PNG. Leaders open it on any device and see the same risk picture. No account and no install needed.

Built for Security Risk Mapping teams

An incident map on a clean city street basemap. Round markers in red, orange, and yellow mark incidents by severity, each with a short black label such as 'Theft', 'Assault', and 'Vandalism'. Several markers cluster along one corridor with a translucent red heat zone underneath to show a hotspot. A small legend box lists High, Medium, and Low with matching colored dots. Flat 2D top-down vector style, clear labels, no 3D shading, no decorative shapes.

Plot incidents and threats

Map crime, security incidents, and threats by location. Color markers by severity and group them by type. Build a clear view of where risk is rising.

A world risk map on a clean light basemap showing global events. Clusters of red and orange circular markers sit over several regions with short black labels such as 'Protest', 'Civil unrest', and 'Armed clash'. Thin dark lines show two staff travel routes crossing between cities, with small black airplane icons along them. Translucent red heat zones sit under the densest event clusters. A legend box lists High, Medium, and Low risk. Flat 2D top-down vector style, clear labels, no 3D shading, no decorative shapes.

Track global events for travel risk

Watch protests, unrest, and conflict worldwide with live GDELT event data. See where staff travel meets rising risk and act early on duty of care.

A polished executive briefing map on a muted basemap. A clear regional view shows a handful of large red and orange risk markers with short labels such as 'High risk region' and 'Watch'. A clean legend box and a short title bar reading 'Global Risk Summary' sit at the top. The look is simple and uncluttered, suited for a boardroom slide. Flat 2D top-down vector style, clear labels, no 3D shading, no decorative shapes.

Brief executives and the board

Turn raw events into a clean map leaders understand at a glance. Share by link for live updates or export a snapshot for the briefing deck.

A site exposure map on a satellite basemap. Several black building icons mark facilities labeled 'HQ', 'Plant', and 'Depot'. Translucent colored zones show risk bands around them, red close in and yellow farther out. A few red event markers labeled 'Incident' sit near one facility. Thin dashed black lines show a buffer ring around each site. A legend box lists risk bands. Flat 2D top-down vector style, clear labels, no 3D shading, no decorative shapes.

Assess site and asset exposure

Place your offices, sites, and staff on the map. Overlay nearby risk events and hazard zones to see which assets are most exposed and plan a response.

Frequently asked questions

What is security risk mapping?

Security risk mapping is plotting incidents, threats, and events on a map so you can see where risk is concentrated. Scribble Maps lets you build one from your own data and live event feeds, then share it with your team or leaders.

What is GDELT event data?

GDELT is the Global Database of Events, Language, and Tone. It tracks events like protests, unrest, and conflict from news worldwide and tags them with a location. Scribble Maps can plot these events so you see global risk as it is reported.

Can I import my own incident data?

Yes. Import a spreadsheet, CSV, KML, GeoJSON, or Shapefile. Your incidents land on the map by address or coordinates and you can color them by severity.

Can executives view the map without an account?

Yes. Share a link and anyone can open the map in a browser. No account, no install, and no training needed. You can also export a snapshot for a slide deck.

Is the data secure?

Yes. Maps support AES-256 encryption and private sharing. Keep sensitive risk maps locked to your team and share a link only with the people who need it.

Do I need GIS training to use it?

No. Pick a marker, set the location, and choose a color for severity. The map builds as you go, and the AI assistant can plot and style data for you on request.
