Atrisk Corporation (/ˈætˈrɪsk/ ) is an ultra-private American security company headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware founded by Nicolas Pendland. The company is registered as a Delaware Corp, the dominant structure in the Fortune 500 because of its corporate secrecy and being considered a domestic "corporate haven." The company operates in the United States, United Kingdom, Eastern Europe, Middle East, and is publicly known to serve corporate and institutional clients, with a focus on at-risk, enterprise employers. The company started by offering "Compliance Postings," which involved legally recompiling compliance information from U.S. Government regulatory bodies, including the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Department of Defense (DOD), Department of Justice (DOJ), Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and Department of Labor (DOL), among others. And most recently, they launched a cryptocurrency-based payment processor known as "AtriskPay," which is currently only available for transactions with the company.
Employers & Institutions: Products & Motives
Training Materials (Materials), within the context of Atrisk services, serve as the educational framework for employers/employees. These Materials are available in multiple formats, including documents, audio files, and digital-use versions, which are designed to provide instruction on safety/security matters. Their purpose is to inform and educate employees within the client organization. Their content is "comprehensive," encompassing a broad spectrum of safety/security subjects. The presentation of the information is structured to be "clear and accessible," ensuring that it can be easily understood by a diverse audience. A notable characteristic of the Materials is their "adaptability," enabling them to be relevant in various situations and in response to changing security circumstances. This, reportedly, reduces the need for content retractions or redistributions. The scope of the Materials varies, addressing both general and specific safety/security concerns, depending on the operational danger of the employer. Distribution of Materials is facilitated through the Platform, via situation-specific partner content delivery networks (CDN).
Individual Briefings (Briefings) are consultations between an Advisor and an employee. These conversations are primarily text-based and focus on providing personalized safety/security guidance. The text-based format of these Briefings are designed to encourage "open dialogue," allowing employees to express personal questions or concerns to their Advisor openly. The structure is intended to facilitate "approachable communication." Employees are encouraged to openly discuss their personal safety/security questions or concerns without "fear of judgment or misunderstanding." As listed, Advisors conduct these Briefings with a focus on "constructiveness" and based on each employee's circumstances and understanding. Briefings incorporate real-time, two-way communication, allowing employees to receive immediate responses and answers to their questions or concerns. This interactive style is paired with Personal Analyses, which could enhance the overall usefulness of the safety/security information provided.
Asterion (Atrisk/OpenAI) is the simplified AI assistant, developed by Atrisk, under OpenAI, tailored for employee use. Its primary role is to offer "detailed and immediate" explanations on a variety of safety/security topics. Asterion's knowledge base is a blend of the Atrisk principles from Training Materials and the data provided by OpenAI, which enabes it to cover a range of topics. These include, but are not limited to, medical emergencies, fraud prevention, phishing and impersonation, social engineering, customer-involved incidents, and threats of harm. Additionally, Asterion was trained (machine learning) to generate specialized "security simulations" and expand on more specific safety/security questions. Its user interface is designed for simplicity and ease of use, allowing users to interact with it without the need for "technical experience" or any "prompt engineering knowledge." It is capable of handling "many–most" safety/security questions and topics. Designed to support a high number of concurrent users, Asterion can accommodate usage up to the total number of employees in the organization, for use in the various safety/security "applications or initiatives" that an employer may implement.
Trend Reports (Reports) are documents that analyze "current and emerging" safety/security trends that may impact operations. They encompass subjects such as evolving crime patterns, potential political instability, and emerging crime types and "methods" to anticipate unexpected increases in incidents. An important part of these Reports is the examination of new techniques, such as in social engineering and fraud. The purpose is to provide employers/employees with insights into these developing threats, to aid them in creating "effective strategies" in preparing for and preventing incidents that could compromise their "physical or financial security." The accessibility and confidentiality of the Reports must be key considerations, they are distributed through a restricted section of the Platform, accessible to authorized personnel.
Scenario Blueprints (Blueprints) are instructional guides designed to assist employees in handling various safety/security situations. They offer a framework to support employees during potential security incidents. The range of topics covered includes "recognizing and responding" professionally to different forms of social engineering, such as phishing attacks and impersonation, in both digital and physical environments. Additionally, Blueprints provide strategies for identifying medical emergencies and outline best practices for managing these situations. The scope of scenarios addressed in the Blueprints is intentionally broad, with the goal of preparing employees for important situations they may encounter. A notable feature is the inclusion of "transcript simulations" that attempt to replicate or recreate real-life scenarios. These simulations, particularly in the context of social engineering, encompass various techniques like baiting, pretexting, and quid pro quo attacks. Through understanding these simulations, employees would gain practical knowledge about the tactics used in such attacks, which would thereby enhance their ability to recognize and respond effectively. "Ease of access" is emphasized, as they are incorporated within the Training Materials and are available directly. While accessibility is emphasized for effectiveness, employers still have the choice to modify access controls.
Compliance Postings (Postings) are Materials that address regulatory requirements in the workplace. These include mandatory or highly recommended content from the U.S. Government regulatory bodies, including the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Department of Defense (DOD), Department of Justice (DOJ), Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and Department of Labor (DOL), among others. The proper distribution and display of the included information, whether via "Postings" or not, is crucial for legal compliance. Atrisk is also responsible for accurately recompiling and recreating these Postings, and ensuring they meet legal recognition standards. The recreated Postings are then categorized as Required Materials within the Training Materials browser, inside of the Platform. These provide employers/employees "organized and efficient" access to compliance resources, offering them in various formats, including print, digital, audio, and "digital-use" versions, to ensure universal "ease of access" and to accommodate different preferences. They serve a dual purpose, fulfilling regulatory obligations regarding required information dissemination, and reinforcing other services or teachings, such as "Individual Briefings" or "Personal Analyses," by providing third-party, standardized, and authoritative information on similar protocols. They are integrated within the Training Materials available on the Platform. Their relevance is optimized by aligning them with specific needs, such as varying state requirements. Postings thus provide a consistent and compliant approach for employers/employees to meet regulatory posting obligations, while also ensuring employee awareness of legally required or recommended safety/security guidelines, workers' rights, and other necessary topics.
Server Monitors (Monitors) provide employers/employees with information regarding the web performance and status/uptime of the domain and pages of their websites. This focuses on parameters such as response time, status metrics, and downtime reports, which are important for maintaining an "optimal user experience." An important function of Monitors is the ability to check website response times. This involves measuring the speed at which a website responds to user requests, which is a key indicator of server efficiency and usability. Monitoring response times helps in identifying any potential performance issues early, for quick fixes. Another major component is performance and status metrics, which offers an overview of website availability and optimization, providing insights into the website's "operational function." Additionally, they incorporate the monitoring and reporting of website downtime, detailing the error codes and durations of any periods when the website is inaccessible. This information for employers/employees to identify and address any internal issues that may be impacting website performance.
Personal Analyses (Analyses) are risk-analysis reports that offer employees "safety/security guidance" based on their circumstances. These Analyses are developed based on each employee's personal circumstances, including their job description, associated risks, and individual situations. The objective is to provide guidance that is relevant to the "unique conditions" of each employee. The process of creating an Analysis involves a "detailed examination" of the associated risks with an employee's position within their workplace, this includes assessing "threats and/or hazards" related to their specific duties and responsibilities. The risk-analysis report also offers some guidance on mitigating these risks. Overall, their purpose is to prepare employees for both current and anticipated "workplace risks." After receiving their Analysis, employees are "often" given the opportunity for a follow-up Individual Briefing with their Advisor, which would allow the employee to directly ask questions, seek further explanations, and deepen their understanding of the safety/security information provided in their Analysis.
Existing Integration (Integration), a.k.a., Upload, involves the review, potential redesign, and technical incorporation of "existing training materials" into the Platform. At the beginning of the "Integration process," employers/employees upload their materials using a file-explorer interface, these uploads can include a variety of file types, such as documents and audio formats, similar to Training Materials. The reported goal of Integration is to effectively "utilize and enhance" any preexisting training resources that the employer may already possess. The Integration process also involves an evaluation of the submitted files, this evaluation examines the "accuracy" of the information, the "usability" of the resources, and their "compatibility" . After this evaluation, there can be a redesign phase, focusing on "standardizing and optimizing" the materials to increase effectiveness. The redesign attempts to retain the original messaging in the resources, while ensuring they align with any imposed requirements and the general safety/security framework. After any optimizations are complete, the materials are then "integrated" into the Platform and any partner Content Delivery Networks (CDN), they are organized into corresponding Training Material browser sections, to encourage "continuity," and accessibility.
Incident Tracking (Incidents) is provided by the employer's Advisor that focuses on documentation of "safety/security incidents" within the workplace, by building an "incident repository" that includes incident reports, "Atrisk Incident Reporting Codes" (AIR Codes), and other reports from third-party or internal sources. The tracking process begins when an incident is submitted by directly communicating with their Advisor. Any submitted reports should include detailed information about the Incident, including a title, description, the individuals involved, witnesses, and the specific location where it occurred. After receiving the information, the Advisor enters the Incident into the logging system and determines its unique "AIR Code," this code is used to identify the Incident and should hasten communication between the employer, employees, and Advisor. This service emphasizes the "thorough documentation" of each Incident, as the information logged includes a name for the Incident, a brief title summarizing its nature, the date and location, and its "AIR Code." Additional recorded incident report details include information about the affected individuals, witnesses, and a detailed description. This logging system maintains the before mentioned "incident repository," and offers a chronological record of any and all workplace incidents. This could aid in identifying any patterns or recurring issues, and it also serves as a reference for Advisors in their consulting and analyses.
Authentication Controls (Controls) within the Platform are mechanisms designed to manage and regulate employee access to various sections of the Platform. This feature enables employers/employees to allocate, restrict, and customize "Clearance Levels" for employees. Each section of the Platform can be accessed via the corresponding "Clearance Level's" Personal Identification Number (PIN) and URL, depending on the settings by the employer. This access control system allows employers/employees to set different levels of access depending on employees' roles and responsibilities. For example, a common, simple PIN/password might be used for sections, like "Individual Briefings," to allow all employees to have authorization, whereas more sensitive areas, like "Incident Tracking," could be limited to a higher Clearance Level, only for authorized personnel, with an obscure, complex PIN/password. Employers modify these Controls for the Platform, including the URLs, PINs, and rules to access different sections. To make changes, employers submit a "change request" to their Advisor, who then oversees the implementation of the changes and ensures they meet any minimum requirements. This clearance-based access control attempts to ensure that employees only have authorization to the sections they need.

Notes
- In this case, the two-thirds share of Fortune 500 companies is not attributable to "favorable tax regimes" or "favorable regulatory regimes," but rather "favorable secrecy laws."
