You can now track the movement of your staff when it is required. Your staff can start tracking sessions directly from their mobile phone and SRM advisors can vizualize their trace from the Somari web application.

You can now report incidents directly from Somari. No need for another form. Once an incident is reported, authorized users will be able to review it before it is published and accounted for in the dashboards.

Both the incident report form and the dashboard are fully customizable to your own specific needs.

Forms

• Add as many fields as you want
• We support virtually all field types you will ever need
• Implement complex form logic to hide/show fields
• Customize the layout of the form with a wide range of options
• Customize the content of the dropdown lists

Dashboard

• Add as many charts as you want
• We support virtually all chart types you will ever need
• Customize the layout of the dashboard to you liking
• Filter data as needed

We have added the ability to browse HDX Signals from within Somari! We’re continuing to make it the one-stop-shop for all things SRM.

If you missed it, Signals is a service that monitors key datasets and generates automated emails when significant, negative changes are detected.

Organizations often struggle keeping their security plans updated on a regular basis. With Somari’s Security Plan Validation feature, this becomes seamless 👌.

If you’ve ever had to update a security plan before, you probably had to browse multiple websites providing SRM related data, filter it out and make sense of it. It’s tedious and time consuming. Not anymore!

With the Data Explorer you get curated information directly in Somari as you are working on your security plan. All in one place.

We’ve been hard at work improving and adding new feature to the application. Here’s what’s new:

Mew Features

Local SOPs

• You can now write your local SOPs directly in Somari.
• Drive and PDF export also available.

Security Strategy

• You can now write your security strategy document, both at country and site levels, directly in Somari.
• Drive and PDF export also available.
• You can navigate between country and site documents with ease.

Context Analysis

• You can now write country level context analysis documents.
• Drive and PDF export also available.
• You can navigate between country and site documents with ease.

Security Level

• You now have a country-wide overview of the security level of each site.

Improvements

Evacuation Plan

• We’ve added a tab to the Evacuation Plan. In the tab called “Evacuation Plan” you can now write a comprehensive document as you would with MS Word. As usual you can export it to PDF and add files to the Drive.
• In the Itineraries tab we have now added markers to clarify where the start (A) and end (B) of the itinerary is.

Accessability is an important feature of any product. It’s a constant work in progress. We’re starting by making sure that Somari is fully usable on any device. Today’s video shows you how Somari looks on mobile browser.

The Staff List feature is the internal address book for all your staff, including the ones that do not have Somari accounts (ex: drivers, guards, …). It’s a simple and efficient way to share contact information within your organization.

You will never again waist time entering contact details manually on your phone.

You can now reset the Security Level of a site. This is helpful in case you are still working on the evaluation of the security indicators and what set the site value later. Or if you had set it by mistake.

The breadcrumb is located at the top of every page and serves two basic purposes:

• Tell you where you are
• Allow you to navigate back where you came from

We’ve just made it so the last item of the breadcrumb, indicating which page you currently viewing, a little bigger to attract more attention and help you find that important information.

New breadcrumb

In high-risk contexts, you can’t build a Security Plan without an Evacuation Plan. One of the things that you’ll need to do is to specify the evacuation itineraries that your team can follow.

With Somari you can easily create custom itineraries for your Evacuation Plans. This is how it works:

• Either search for a landmark or just drop a pin on the map to specify start and destination.
• Drag the route to add any waypoints that you need.

It’s that simple. Watch the video below for a demo of the feature.

The tiles in the Security Plan allow you to navigate each tool. We’ve reordered them, both for countries and sites, so that they better reflect the structure of an actual Security Plan.

Tiles for countries

Tiles for sites

Although each context is unique, organizations need to compare, in some aggregated way, the level of security of each site of operation. This is done by setting the Security Level of a site.

This feature is implemented as follows:

• Score a set of indicators from 1 to 5. Each level has a description in order to increase consistency of ranking across countries and sites.
• Indicators are grouped in categories.
• Both indicators and categories are customizable.
• Give the site an overall score (from 1 to 5). The security manager manually aggregates the score of all indicators to account for context specificities.

Watch the video below for a full demo of the feature.

We’ve added a widget that allows to quickly see the Impact and likelihood that make the initial and residual levels of a threat. You just need to hover your mouse over the levels for the widget to appear.!

Widget

The Risk Assessment is one of the key tools of any Security Plan. Somari implements the widely used Impact x Likelihood approach. But we’ve improved basically everything else:

• An much improved table navigation
• Searchable threat list
• Suggestions for vulnerabilities associated to the selected threat
• Suggestions for mitigation measures associated to the selected threats
• And more…
