#NotATarget

Open Briefing is the only organisation working worldwide to provide professional and appropriate holistic security and duty of care support to at-risk human rights defenders and humanitarians working in violent or repressive environments.

We provide high-impact mentoring, capacity-building and technical assistance across safety and security, digital security and wellbeing and resilience. We also work extensively with the senior management teams and boards of international funders and NGOs.

“Without hesitation I recommend Open Briefing. The way they take time to understand your organisation, adapt to your needs, and provide insight and tailored guidance has been unfailingly impressive.”
Nick Martlew, UK Director, Crisis Action

“Open Briefing has been an essential service to me and my organisation. I am grateful that they exist; they permit me to make well-thought-out decisions on how to oversee my organisation’s duty of care.”
Jessi Ginther, Director of Operations, Center for Civilians in Conflict

“From identifying critical gaps to implementing practical policies, Open Briefing should be your first call to assess and strengthen your security profile.”
Brad Brooks-Rubin, Managing Director, The Sentry
