Control Risks experts and consultants are supported by our global, multi-disciplinary expertise and are able to call on this unrivalled resource at any time. This gives them full visibility of the local, national and global context of your security operation. Operational staff receive regular information on evolving threats and risks – political, security or cyber – from our analyst network.
Securing you, securing your reputation
Security is often the criterion by which a company’s conduct is judged and reputation forged. This is particularly the case in fragile and troubled countries. Our approach to security incorporates our commitment to human rights, the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights and other international conventions centring on corporate social responsibility.
