Why Scribble Maps for Security Risk Mapping

Live incidents, down to the city

We monitor 19,000+ public news sources, including local outlets in the city where something happens. Reports are grouped into one incident with a place, a severity, and an outlet count, often before the big wires pick it up.

Your people and sites on the same map

Drop your offices, hotels, venues, and routes on the map, or import them from a spreadsheet. Filter incidents by type, severity, scope, and time window to see what sits near them.

Brief executives in minutes

Share by link so leaders see the same risk picture on any device. Save an incident to the map, add your notes, and export a snapshot for the briefing deck. No account and no install needed.

Click More info on an incident for a brief built from every report about it: what happened, a timeline, the current status, and what it means for safety and movement. Claims that conflict or are not confirmed are flagged. The reports it drew on are listed at the end.

Frequently asked questions

What is security risk mapping?

Security risk mapping is plotting incidents, threats, and your own assets on a map so you can see where risk is concentrated. Scribble Maps combines your own data with the Situation & Market Intel kit, a live feed of incidents from public news sources, plus official travel advisories and alerts.

What is the Situation & Market Intel kit?

It is a Scribble Maps kit that puts live incidents from around the world on your map. Each incident shows where it happened, how severe it is, how many outlets reported it, and an AI brief of what is known. An Official Sources tab adds government travel advisories and official alerts. The live feed needs Pro Business. Any plan can use the delayed feed, 36 hours behind.

Which incidents does it track?

Six types: armed conflict, protests and riots, shootings and attacks, fires and disasters, outages and closures, and political crises such as coups, sanctions, and border closures. Strikes, severe weather, and transport disruption are included too. Turn each type on or off in the kit panel.

Can I import my own incident and asset data?

Yes. Import a spreadsheet, CSV, KML, GeoJSON, or Shapefile. Your sites and incidents land on the map by address or coordinates, and you can color them by severity. Live incidents can be saved to the map as regular markers next to them.

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.

Can I rely on it for safety or travel decisions?

Use it as an awareness tool, not as your only source. Coverage is automated, so incidents can be missed, reported late, or shown in the wrong place, and no incident on the map does not mean an area is safe. Always check official advisories, local authorities, and your security provider.

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. Add the kit from the Kits tab, pick a marker, set the location, and choose a color for severity. The map builds as you go, and Scribble AI can plot and style data for you on request.
