Counter-terrorism risk assessments built on real-world doctrine, front-line experience and evidence.
TRAMM — Terrorism Risk Assessment and Mitigation Model — is 1705’s proprietary assessment framework and our core USP in the field of event safety and security consultancy. Built from front-line policing, family-liaison insight, and live event operations experience, TRAMM transforms complex government counter-terrorism guidance into a single, plain-English picture that any organisation can understand and act on.
Unlike generic risk assessment templates, TRAMM maps 14 recognised attack types against your specific premises or event, scores the effectiveness of your existing controls, and identifies the highest-priority gaps. It integrates counter-terrorism, health and safety, crowd safety and medical considerations into one coherent framework — ensuring your assessment reflects the real threat environment, not just a checklist.
The output is a clear, defensible document with named owners, timelines and prioritised action plans. Regulators, Safety Advisory Groups and insurers understand it. More importantly, your team can act on it from day one.
TRAMM unites counter-terrorism, health & safety, crowd safety and medical risk into a single plain-English model that maps 14 recognised attack types and scores your existing controls consistently across the board.
Built on lessons learnt, inquest findings and academic research — tempered by front-line operational experience — so every recommendation is proportionate, practical and defensible in front of any regulator or coroner.
TRAMM outputs a prioritised, owner-assigned action plan and an evidence pack aligned to Martyn's Law, Health & Safety and Occupiers' Liability — so you can deliver improvements fast and prove you did.
Our team doesn’t rely on theory alone, they’ve lived it. The services we provide are shaped by decades of real-world frontline experience.
TRAMM stands for Terrorism Risk Assessment and Mitigation Model. It is 1705 Consultancy’s proprietary counter-terrorism risk framework, developed from front-line policing, family-liaison experience and live event operations. It is designed to turn complex government guidance into a clear, actionable assessment for any premises, venue or event.
A standard risk assessment typically focuses on generic hazards and likelihood scores. TRAMM specifically maps 14 recognised terrorist attack types against your site or event, scores your existing controls against each, identifies priority gaps, and integrates counter-terrorism, health and safety, crowd safety and medical risk into a single coherent picture. The result is more robust, more defensible and far more specific to your threat environment than a generic template.
TRAMM is suitable for any organisation responsible for a publicly accessible location or event — including venues, festivals, arenas, shopping centres, places of worship, local authorities and corporate campuses. If you have a duty of care to the public and need to demonstrate proportionate counter-terrorism planning, TRAMM provides the framework to do it credibly.
Yes. TRAMM is designed with Martyn’s Law compliance in mind. It addresses the security and counter-terrorism planning requirements set out in the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, including threat assessment, control effectiveness, staff procedures and proportionate protective measures. An assessment completed using TRAMM provides documented evidence of compliance for both Standard and Enhanced duty holders.
Timescales vary depending on the size and complexity of your premises or event. A single venue assessment typically takes two to four weeks from initial briefing to final report. Larger or multi-site assessments, or those requiring site visits and stakeholder engagement, may take longer. We will agree a clear timeline with you at the outset and keep you informed throughout the process.
The output of a TRAMM assessment is a clear, structured report that includes: a site or event profile; a mapped analysis of applicable attack types and your current controls against each; a scored gap analysis with prioritised recommendations; named owners and suggested timelines for each action; and a summary evidence pack suitable for sharing with Safety Advisory Groups, insurers, or regulators. It is written in plain English and designed to be used, not filed away.
Yes. The TRAMM report is a defensible, evidence-based document that records your threat assessment methodology, control effectiveness scoring and prioritised action plan. It demonstrates that you took a proportionate, structured approach to managing terrorism risk — which is relevant in enforcement action under Martyn’s Law, Health and Safety legislation, Occupiers’ Liability claims, and inquest proceedings. We recommend retaining all versions of the report alongside records of completed actions.
Yes. We offer TRAMM practitioner training for in-house security, health and safety, and operational teams who wish to apply the model independently. Training is delivered in-person and covers the full TRAMM methodology, how to complete an assessment, how to score controls, and how to produce a compliant output report. Please contact us to discuss your team’s requirements and available training dates.
