SITRAQ COMPANY PROFILESITRAQ · Edition October 2026
In Iraq, the constraint is not a shortage of information.
It is the time it takes to separate what actually happened from what was only claimed, repeated, or happened years ago.
SITRAQ closes that gap: one checked and graded picture of Iraq, minutes after events happen, on the desktop, on the phone and in every report.

01 · Who we are
Security intelligence for organisations that work in Iraq
THE SHORT VERSIONSITRAQ tracks security incidents across every Iraqi governorate around the clock, checks and grades each one, and delivers the result as a live map and feed, alerts on the phone, and daily, weekly and monthly reports in English and Arabic. Produced in Baghdad.

Iraq does not lack information. It lacks time: separating what actually happened from what was only claimed, repeated, or happened years ago takes hours that most security teams do not have.

SITRAQ does that work continuously. Every event is checked before it reaches you: is it a genuine security incident, is it new, where exactly did it happen, how serious is it, and has it already been reported?

What remains is one clean picture, the same one our analysts work from, on the desktop, on the phone and in every report.

The service is neutral by design. Partisan labels and rhetorical framing are replaced with plain, factual wording before anything reaches a client, and every judgement in a report carries a reliability tag.

WHAT YOU CAN RELY ON
Incidents, not headlines

Statements, commentary and viral content are kept out. The feed carries security events and nothing else.

Exact places

Each event is pinned where it happened, a district, a town, a border crossing, not where the story was published.

One event, one entry

Repeated reports of the same event merge into one, with the number of sources behind it.

Source graded

Every entry carries a NATO Admiralty grade, which firms up as more sources confirm the event.

Old news stays old

Anniversaries, memorials and past events are recognised and kept out of today's picture.

Bilingual throughout

Platform, phone app, alerts and reports in English and Modern Standard Arabic.

02 · How it works
From the first report to a decision

Every item passes the same steps before it appears in a feed, an alert or a report, so a reader can compare one day with the next without re-checking the method.

01Monitor

Security developments across Iraq and the neighbouring states are followed around the clock, every day of the year.

02Verify

Each event is checked before it is published: that it is real, that it is new, and that it is a security matter rather than comment.

03Locate and grade

Pinned to the exact place it happened, classified by type and severity, and graded for reliability on the NATO Admiralty scale.

04Deliver

Within minutes: on the live map, as an alert to the people it affects, and in the next daily, weekly and monthly report.

Entries as a client sees them on the platform.
WHAT EVERY ENTRY CARRIES
SeverityCategoryExact place and governorateTimeAdmiralty gradeNumber of sourcesCasualties where reportedDeveloping-event thread
OUR ANALYSTSAnalysts review the picture through the day, correct what needs correcting, and write the assessments, forecasts and recommendations in every report.
IRAQ AND THE REGIONEvents in Syria, Iran, Turkey, Jordan, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia are kept apart from the national picture, in their own Region view, and reported where they bear on Iraq.

Standing limitations. SITRAQ reports what is reported: incidents are reported, not field-confirmed, and severity is assessed from the available reporting. An area with no recorded activity is not necessarily safe. Our products inform decisions; they do not replace ground verification or a qualified security manager's judgement.

03 · The live platform
The live operational picture

Subscribers work from the same live picture our analysts do: every incident at its place on the map and in the feed beside it, classified and graded as it arrives.

The SITRAQ platform: the situation band across the top, the incident map with layers, and the incident feed. Live screen, 20 October 2026.
  • Situation band. Airspace status, the travel advisory level, incident counts with their movement, internet and GPS status, the dinar market rate and the oil price.
  • Incident map. One pin per event at its exact place, Iraq's border drawn in red, and a time range from 24 hours to 30 days.
  • Layers. Threat level, airports, installations, oil and energy sites, and the nearest help: hospitals and police stations.
  • Incident feed. Newest first, with severity, category, place, source grade and number of sources on every entry; filters by category, severity and governorate.
  • Developing events. Related reports thread into one incident, so an unfolding event reads as a single timeline.
  • Search and Live TV. Find any town, incident or action from one box, and watch the national news broadcasts side by side.

04 · Patterns and trends
See the pattern, not only the pins
The live map window: its own full-screen map with heatmap, measuring, filters and statistics, made for the operations-room wall.
Trends: the heatmap, the governorate risk index and the hotspots, with 30-day, 90-day and six-month playback.
  • Governorate risk index. Every governorate ranked by severity-weighted activity, not a raw count, so fewer but deadlier incidents rank higher.
  • What's unusual. The Watch Desk flags activity that departs from an area's own normal: a rise, a new kind of incident, or a quiet area turning active.
  • Shift handover. A written handover at 07:00, 15:00 and 23:00: what changed in the last shift and what to watch in the next.
  • Analytics workspace. Incidents over time by category, the severity split, the most active governorates and month-by-month maps, with CSV export.
  • Ask the analyst. Ask the incident archive a question in plain words; the answer cites the incidents it rests on.
  • The archive. Every incident since the service began, searchable by place, category, severity and date.
The analytics workspace: 30 days of incidents by category and severity, the top governorates, and monthly comparison maps.

05 · Signals
Beyond incidents: the signals that move risk

Risk in Iraq is not only attacks. A cut network, a jammed GPS signal, a closed airspace or a sliding dinar changes how people move and work. SITRAQ tracks these alongside the incidents and shows them in one place.

01

Airspace

Open or restricted, with the notices behind any change, for crews and travellers planning flights.

02

Travel advisory

The current government travel level for Iraq and every change to it, on the band and in the reports.

03

Internet

Nationwide shutdowns and regional cuts as they happen, including the scheduled exam-day cuts and their times.

04

GPS interference

Jamming levels by area as a map layer, for drivers, fleets and anyone relying on navigation.

05

Hotspots

Iraq's standing hotspots, Sinjar, the Dohuk border, Kirkuk and others, each with live numbers, its trend and analyst guidance.

06

Economy

The dinar market rate against the official rate and the oil price, as an early sign of economic stress.

07

Energy and infrastructure

Attacks and failures affecting power, water, oil and telecoms, tracked as their own section in the weekly and monthly reports.

08

Nearest help

Hospitals and police stations near any incident or saved place, on the map and on the phone.

06 · On your phone
Your neighbourhood and your route, in your pocket

The live picture on the phone, built for staff in the field, with an alert only when an incident matters to them, not for every headline in the country.

Home: your area at a glance
Feed: what happened near you
Map: incidents in view
  • Alerts for your places. Save home, office or hotel. High and critical incidents within 3 km alert the phone, and critical ones anywhere in your governorate; quiet hours and a morning summary keep the rest calm.
  • Zones. Your security manager draws zones as circles, areas or corridors along a road and shares them with the team; a serious incident inside one alerts every phone that follows it.
  • Drive mode. Start a trip from an assessed journey plan: the route stays on screen and any serious incident within 5 km of the road raises an alert until arrival.
  • SOS in one tap. The right emergency numbers one tap from the home screen, with the team's own contacts alongside.
  • Reports on the go. Daily, weekly and monthly reports in English or Arabic, to read, save or share.
  • No app store needed. Installs from the browser on iPhone and Android, and each client's own logo can lead the app.

07 · Ad-hoc convoy tracking
Any vehicle, any trip, tracked live in minutes

No trackers to fit and nothing to install. The operations desk sends each driver a link; the driver taps Start, and the move appears live in the operations room, with the second vehicle following the lead and the client watching through a private link.

The client's private link: the route, each vehicle by call sign, the gap between them and the time left, live. Demonstration trip, Baghdad.
The driver's link: one tap to start
The follow vehicle: the lead's distance and speed
  • Ready in minutes. Set the destination and the vehicles, then send the links by WhatsApp or any messenger. No accounts for drivers.
  • Gap and stop warnings. When vehicles drift apart, a vehicle stops or a signal is lost, the crews and the operations room are warned.
  • SOS from the cab. One tap raises a red alert in the operations room with the vehicle's position.
  • Threat-aware on the road. Serious incidents near the route are flagged to the crew during the trip.
  • A record of every move. Each trip is logged and can be replayed for the file and duty-of-care records.
  • Controlled access. Each link works on one phone for one day, and the operations desk can switch any link off.

Works in the phone's browser on iPhone and Android while the driver keeps the screen on. Team rules for gap distance, stop time, speed and driving hours are set per client.

Pages from the Monthly Security Analysis for September 2026.

  • The bottom line first. The period in brief, what to expect in the coming days and weeks, and a working assumption for planning.
  • Five regions scored. Baghdad, Anbar and Nineveh, Central, Southern Iraq and the Kurdistan Region, each on terrorism, unrest and crime, with its direction.
  • Three scenarios. How the coming week could unfold, how likely each path is, and the factor that decides it.
  • Warning indicators. Red, amber and green signals to monitor, their current state and the action each calls for.
  • Recommended actions. Steps for this week, the next two weeks and ongoing practice.
  • Reliability on every claim. Each judgement is tagged [Verified], [One source] or [Assessment: likely], so a reader knows what is fact and what is judgement.
