Telecommunications companies are among the first to enter any recently stabilised country, and Control Risks is often there with them.

Control Risks' ability to combine business-focused regional and national political analysis with practical on-the-ground security management means that we have been able to help our clients work in emerging markets without exposing their people and investments to unreasonable risks.

We have also helped our telecommunications clients to combat counterfeiting, carry out successful mergers and acquisitions, and organise their information security.

Our services include:

• Political and security risk analysis – before or during expansion into new markets, we provide independent assessments of business, travel and security risks.
• Business intelligence and investigations – our investigators produce detailed reports on local stakeholders and potential partners, as well as a range of services including due diligence, asset tracing and fraud investigations.
• Security management – we can provide both technical, on-the-ground security services and sophisticated global security management.
• Travel and personal security – before deploying their staff, many of our telecommunications clients ask us to provide security training and briefings for their staff and their dependants.
• Incident response - in the event of a kidnap or the occupation of a site, we can send a consultant anywhere in the world within 24 hours to advise on the situation and co-ordinate a response.
