What We Do

Muir Analytics provides hotel-specific violence threat intelligence and risk mitigation insight.

We maintain the world’s most comprehensive structured database of violent, criminal, terrorist, and civil disorder incidents affecting hotels globally — with particular depth in the United States.

Our mission is simple:

Deliver cutting-edge threat intelligence that helps hotels prevent violence where possible, mitigate it when it occurs, and protect guests, staff, brand, and revenue.

What Is “Hotel Threat Intelligence”?

Hotels are one of the most violence-exposed business sectors in the world.

They face:

• Criminal violence (shootings, assaults, armed robberies)
• Sexual assaults and human trafficking
• Armed intrusions and active assailants
• Civil unrest and protest spillover (Strike, Riot, Civil Commotion)
• Targeted attacks on VIPs
• Terrorism and politically motivated violence
• Malicious damage and arson

We track how these incidents actually happen — not in theory, but in real-world case studies.

We analyze:

• Why these attacks happen
• How attackers gain access
• Where security gaps are exploited
• When incidents occur (time-of-day patterns)
• Which hotel types and brands are most exposed
• How staff actions either helped or worsened outcomes
• How law enforcement responded
• Where lawsuits followed

Then we translate those findings into clear, actionable guidance for hotel teams.

Staff-Level Usability

Our guidance is:

We help ensure security improvements are understandable, implementable, and documentable.

Litigation Risk Awareness

When serious violence occurs, lawsuits often follow.

Muir Analytics helps hotels:

• Understand how courts evaluate security negligence
• Identify commonly litigated security failures
• Document security upgrades and policy improvements
• Demonstrate responsible risk management

Proper documentation and structured improvement tracking can:

• Reduce perceived negligence
• Improve legal defensibility
• Potentially reduce financial exposure

We help hotels show:

“We understood the threat environment. We took proactive steps. We upgraded accordingly.”

Protecting What Matters

Our intelligence supports protection of:

• Guests
• Staff
• Brand reputation
• Revenue continuity
• Franchise relationships
• Corporate oversight

Violence risk is not hypothetical in the hotel sector. It is recurring, patterned, and measurable.

Hotels that understand the patterns are better positioned to:

• Prevent incidents
• Reduce severity
• Recover faster
• Defend themselves legally

The SecureHotel™ Approach

We combine:

• Structured global incident tracking
