Control Risks is a global risk and strategic consulting firm that specializes in political, security and integrity risk assessments.
History
Control Risks was formed in 1975, as a professional adviser to the insurance industry. A subsidiary of insurance broker Hogg Robinson, the firm aimed to minimize their exposure to kidnap and ransom payouts. The firm expanded its capabilities when these crisis management and incident response specialists were joined by political and security risk analysts, before becoming independent in 1982 following a management buyout.{{cite web|date=March 13, 2010|title=Iraq security firm joins bidding for Wall Street's favorite detective agency|url=https://www.theguardian.com/business/2010/mar/14/kroll-control-risks-bidding-war|work=The Guardian|location=London}}
