On-the-Ground Security Management for a Reality Shoot in Panama 

The Shoot 

Part of the season was filmed in Panama, bringing together high-profile talent and a large U.S.-based crew. The show follows well-known personalities as they navigate the complexities of their relationships, careers, and social lives. 

Safety Challenges 

The security lead required the ability to capture and update critical safety and security information in real time via their phone, as the production frequently moved between locations. 

They needed to assess and mitigate location-specific risks ahead of arrival, as well as submit detailed reports after filming. 

They also needed a centralized, easily accessible record of all security protocols, incidents, and location assessments to ensure continuity and quick reference for the entire production team. 

How SetConnect Helped 

Real-time mobile access: Enabled the security lead to log and update safety and security data instantly from any location, ensuring no delays despite frequent shoot relocations. 

Proactive risk management: Provided tools to analyze location-specific risks ahead of time, helping to implement mitigation strategies before arrival. 

Centralized reporting and records: Consolidated all protocols, assessments, and incident reports in one secure platform, making it easy to share information and maintain continuity across the production team. 

Testimonial

“Using SetConnect as the safety, security and medical reporting software on this production streamlined my daily reporting and once submitted, it would automatically email a copy to anyone who needed it. The ability to complete everything from my phone on the go was not only fantastic but made the reporting process extremely efficient. Even after late days, I could submit my reports and notes on the way back to the hotel without needing to open my laptop. Having used similar software before, this is the first time the app and software felt intuitive and straightforward to use.”
