Control Risks is a globalrisk and strategic consulting firm that specializes in political, security and integrity risk assessments.
Control Risks was formed in 1975, as a professional adviser to the insurance industry. A subsidiary of insurance brokerHogg Robinson, the firm aimed to minimize their exposure to kidnap and ransom payouts.
