Crisis24 Alternative — DigitalStakeout
Crisis24 is a GardaWorld company offering critical event management, travel risk, mass notification, and crisis response backed by 200+ analysts and global operations centers. If your team needs self-service intelligence collection with custom collection plans, OSINT investigation tools, and AI classification across 16 risk domains — without managed services overhead — DigitalStakeout provides a platform-first approach at published pricing.
What's Happening with Crisis24
Crisis24 is a GardaWorld subsidiary that has consolidated several brands — the former Crisis24, WorldAware, and Topo.ai — into an integrated security services operation. GardaWorld is one of the world's largest physical security companies. Crisis24 operates with 200+ intelligence analysts across global operations centers, offering a services-plus-platform model.
Crisis24's platforms include TopoONE for critical event management, Horizon for travel risk management, mass notification systems, and the recently launched AiiA (powered by Palantir) for executive-level anticipatory intelligence. The company tracks 200,000+ sources in 35+ languages and serves Fortune 500 companies, universities, and NGOs with travel risk, crisis response, and medical evacuation services.
The fundamental difference is operating model. Crisis24 pairs technology with managed analyst services — you get curated intelligence, event management, and human-in-the-loop triage. DigitalStakeout is a self-service platform — you build your own collection plans, configure your own collection scopes, ingest data from your own internal sources, and the AI classifies everything automatically. If you need your team to own the intelligence workflow rather than outsource it, the platforms serve different needs at very different price points.
