CRF Client Services Activities — Latin America & the Caribbean

Client Services team members bring a combination of special people skills and technical knowledge to CRF's security training and outreach service missions. Because each client organization faces different challenges, CRF's teams generally begin by performing a field security needs assessment, followed by delivery and installation of the appropriate technologies developed by our security research teams. CRF can provide basic security system maintainance and transition services to larger humanitarian and journalism NGOs and can also help NGO client users to establish secure, authenticated communications with colleagues working on related projects in other CRF client organizations.
