Thank you to Travelers Europe for hosting us at their London offices earlier this month. It was a valuable session with our SPS crisis management team, including Louis Bernard, who shared insights from recent crypto-related kidnap cases in France and the challenges these evolving threats present.

Two stories caught our attention this month: A federal manhunt revealed a suspect had stalked and murdered U.S. lawmakers while impersonating a law enforcement officer, armed with disguises, weapons, and a hit list. A viral TikTok trend shows job seekers proudly admitting they faked entire résumés, “not one word is true”, to land interviews and offers. Both stories point to one reality: surface-level checks no longer cut it. At Concentric, our Background and Investigations team goes beyond the basics. We are discreet, comprehensive and built for today’s evolving threat landscape. Trust isn’t given. It’s verified.

Last week, our CIO Casey Allen summited Mount Rainier, 14,410 ft of snow, rock, and ice. What did he pack alongside crampons and coffee? GEAR. Not because he expected anything to go wrong, but because peace of mind matters, especially when you’re off the grid. GEAR is our 24/7 global emergency support, there if you twist an ankle, get caught in a storm, or need an urgent evacuation. It’s the same service our clients rely on every day, whether they’re traveling for work, adventure, or something in between. Casey made it back safely and with a sunrise view like this!👇 But knowing GEAR was in his corner? That made all the difference. Where will your next challenge take you, and who’s got your back?
