Manage risks, build resilience

At Control Risks we bring a unique, integrated approach to projects in challenging and complex environments. We work with investors, advisors, developers, project managers, designers, engineers, infrastructure owners and operators, and occupiers to identify and mitigate physical and digital vulnerabilities through early assessment, improving the security and resilience of your assets. 

All our designs are threat-based and risk-commensurate. We use our own risk consulting team to design systems that are risk based and outcome focussed, ensuring they are operationally and economically efficient.

Our approach to security design engineering

Control Risks integrates with all the activities and design stages of your project. Our design consulting services are aligned with the RIBA plan of work stages. We take an integrated approach to protecting our clients’ important assets in challenging and complex environments.
