Total defence

When the alarm sounds it is too late to start planning. The question is not if your operation will be tested — but when, and whether you are ready.

We have stood where you stand

Rote's consultants in total defence have carried the responsibility themselves — in the Swedish Armed Forces, at preparedness-responsible authorities and in the command rooms of essential companies. We don't arrive with theoretical models; we arrive with the experience of making decisions when information is incomplete, time is short and the stakes are high. That is why both public and private actors return to us year after year.

What is at stake

Electricity, water, food, payments, healthcare, transport — the things we take for granted are also the first to come under pressure. A crisis tests not only your systems; it tests the trust of your customers, employees and owners. Organisations that have exercised, analysed their dependencies and prepared their leadership will manage. Those who have not are forced to improvise in full view.

What we know works

The security policy situation and Sweden's new preparedness structure have fundamentally changed the field of play. We meet that development with methodology proven in real situations:

• Continuity planning that ensures essential operations function even when power, water or deliveries fail.
• The NATO model as a common framework for command and cooperation — tested, exercised and adapted to a Swedish context.
• Supply preparedness and analysis of critical dependencies, coordinated across sectors.
• Wartime organisation planning and preparation for additional tasks at heightened readiness.
• Go-to-market analyses tied to the seven dimensioning scenarios — hybrid threats, host nation support, attack on northern Sweden and Gotland, long-range strikes and reinforcement of the alliance's northern flank and the Baltic states.

The result is measurable: shorter lead times in a crisis, fewer critical single points of failure, and an organisation that knows who does what — before the day it is decided.
