Innovation

Protecting the economic importance of the supply chain is a continuous process of which innovation must form a strategic part. The criminal becomes more and more cunning and continuously adapts his methods. SKILSS guides novelty processes from idea to implementation. We are aware of the challenges and needs of stakeholders in the supply chain, can articulate the security issues and present them to inventors and knowledge institutions. We stimulate and facilitate practical innovations in living labs in collaboration with all stakeholders and support the evidence of the effectiveness gains of the inventions. 

Research

In addition to (risk) assessments, quick scans, and analysis, SKILSS can assist you with practical research into processes and phenomena. We always do this based on ​​connecting the world of science and everyday practice whilst relying on our extensive knowledge of both criminology and security science. In addition, we consider supervision, pilots and living labs to investigate the impact of new security measures and make adjustments when necessary. The question is always asked what effect one hopes to achieve with the security policy. Phenomena research focuses on crime and other violations of norms that threaten business operations, for example, in the context of security analysis at industry, market segment or company level. Ultimately, our research services always result in substantiated advice with which you can move forward. 

Projectmanagement

Security is a joint interest of public and private parties, making it essential to collaborate and share information whenever possible. There is so much to gain from targeted information exchange for both public and private. SKILSS acts as a linking pin and brings public parties into contact with private parties and vice versa. The starting point is to work on targeted solutions to make the supply chain more resilient.

Knowledge is power, especially when the acquired knowledge is frequently repeated. SKILSS provides various courses and training either itself, on behalf of or from its network.
