Copenhagen Business School (CBS) is among the only 50 educational institutions in the world with the certification EQUIS. One of the parameters is safety and security.

With a more complex threat picture, more than a simple fire alarm is needed, where everyone can be trained to gather in the yard at a specific sound. With terrorist threats on top of the stack combined with multiple locations, a more nuanced alert mechanism is needed, while keeping it as robust and simple as possible.

At CBS, they can communicate quickly with RMG C3 Campus Alert to all students and employees. Students can now consent upon enrolment, that they will receive messages, and they can sign up for the service automatically. The goal is to meet the police critical mass target of 60% of people present, with CBS going from having 3,500 enrolled to 9,000 out of 22,000.

Fortunately, it is rare for CBS to need to raise an alarm, but CBS knows that it is important to practice emergency responses so that they test their crisis management and alarm systems on a monthly basis and get the processes to the backbone.
