Supporting NGO safety and security from the start

The context in which NGOs operate has changed dramatically over the past 21 years. Insecurity has increased, and NGOs are facing new and complex risks.

In this volatile environment, NGOs feel a moral obligation to ensure the safety of their staff. They take their staff’s responsibility seriously and seek partners to assist them in preparing their colleagues. NGOs choose CSD because of our quality and our mission.

We are part of the NGO community

From the very beginning, we’ve specialized in NGO security. We’re also a non-profit NGO ourselves.

As a member of the CHS Alliance, PHAP, INSSA, GISF, and Partos, we’re part of the NGO community.
We’re also a member of the Dutch Security Network (DSN), the security platform for Dutch NGOs.

We support approximately 200 local and international NGOs worldwide.

We believe that:

• Humanitarian, religious, human rights, environmental, aid, and development organizations can fulfill their duty of care even in remote and dangerous areas.
• The acceptance strategy is the most effective way to improve the safety of NGOs.
• Employees are individuals with their own personality, story, and history. We believe it’s essential to consider this so that each individual is well-prepared.
• Organizations achieve the best results when safety is integrated into their thinking, procedures, and culture.

We support you worldwide

We provide our services on-site, worldwide. In short, we go wherever your mandate takes you.

Our goal is to enable you to fulfill your mission by mitigating your risks.
Even when assistance is needed in remote, unsafe, or difficult-to-access areas.

Ultimately, it’s about ensuring that those who need help receive it.
