Threat level assessment workflows with escalation triggers

Purpose

1. Automated threat level assessment workflows systematically evaluate security incidents reported to the Guardia Di Finanza Police, analyzing risk indicators to assign threat tiers for prioritization.

2. Automates real-time ingestion of intelligence feeds, risk data, field reports, and alerts for immediate processing without human delay.

3. Automates escalation triggers based on severity, compliance factors, incident location, and operatives available, ensuring time-sensitive responses in law enforcement.

4. Automating workflow standardizes threat evaluation, rapidly initiates team deployment, external notifications, and logs for forensic review.

5. Automation aims to mitigate risks to citizens, assets, and staff while automating regulatory reporting and inter-agency communication.

Trigger Conditions

1. Automatedly triggered by detection of flagged keywords or severity scores in incident reports or intelligence streams.

2. Automates based on exceedance of pre-defined risk thresholds (e.g., threat level HIGH, active shooter, terrorism indicator).

3. Automator launches upon unauthorized access events, surveillance alerts, or geofenced breaches.

4. Automation initiates on incoming law enforcement or citizen hotline reports during restricted operational windows.

5. Automates via continuous monitoring of sensor, alert, and log data aggregated across Guardia Di Finanza systems.
