Exton, PA, October 18, 2005 – CAP Index, Inc., the world leader in crime vulnerability and loss prevention analytics, today introduced its Proximity Analysis OnLine mapping service. This online mapping service provides users the ability to depict visually multiple critical factors that characterize the environment around specific geographic locations. These critical factors include crime vulnerability, potential terrorist targets, and important public infrastructure assets.

According to Jon Groussman, CAP Index President, “CAP Index Proximity Analysis OnLine greatly enhances clients’ ability to access, store, and manage risk information for specific locations. Risk management ‘from the desktop’ is a growing trend because companies and organizations have seen too often how quickly disruption occurs from natural and man-made events. Our initial online service, CRIMECAST® OnLine which we introduced earlier this year, is being well received by clients, because it offers such easy and flexible access to vital site data in a secure environment. Combining Proximity Analysis OnLine with CRIMECAST® OnLine gives users a quick and vivid depiction of the how to plan for and manage disruptive natural or manmade events.”

CAP Index said that security, loss prevention, property, and risk managers can study the vulnerability of each of their sites to potential disruptive incidents. Proximity Analysis OnLine can be used in security planning, crisis management, and disaster recovery planning because it can visually display not only neighborhood crime vulnerability and potential terrorist targets, but also transportation routes, public health and safety facilities, and even the locations of a client’s own local support sites and homes of key executives.
