Risks
 
Throughout the world criminal and terrorist organizations have identified corporations and key economic centres / infrastructure as their preferred targets. With the rapid development of globalization and the advances made in communications’ interconnectivity, Political Risks now transcend countries and continents. The menace affects nations, international corporations and even influential individuals.
 
Based upon decades of experience in intelligence gathering, Alcyon’s response is to furnish clients with in-depth, intelligence-based country and organization reports that cover most nations in the world. Alcyon brings the experience, contacts and skills to provide highly accurate & detailed accounts of risks & threats in those countries that are of particular concern to clients.
 
Some facts:
 
·     Cost:The 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Centre resulted in a direct financial loss amounting to almost $32 billion. 
  • Investment:These attacks cost the attackers approximately USD 500,000 to plan and execute, constituting the highest “return on investment” for any perpetrators in history. However such threats are not simply limited to large-scale attacks on nations and multinational corporations. 
  • Threats:The threat to corporate wellbeing not only relates to major incidents, but also low impact attacks such as kidnap & ransom, extortion and vandalism. These are all very relevant to almost every leading, international corporation. 
  • Risk assessment:Assessment and accurate analysis of political and country risks are fundamental to effective risk management for any multi-national corporation or NGO. Companies are increasingly susceptible to growing threats from crime & terrorism which can have a severe impact on their profits and performance. 
  • Security:Although in the corporate world the smooth flow of commerce is the key to success, strong security is an essential prerequisite to ensure this. 
With the specialist skills and exceptional experience and expertise to assess and confront the threats of terrorism & crime, Alcyon brings an integrated security approach which sets strategies to secure and protect both corporate and NGO infrastructure and interests.
