Control Risks is a global specialist risk consultancy founded in 1975. The firm helps organizations navigate volatile and unpredictable environments without sacrificing growth, combining expertise, experience and reach with data and technology to deliver insight and intelligence. It was established in response to a growing need for businesses to mitigate the risks of operating globally, and now operates from offices in every region and time zone, serving national and multinational markets worldwide.

The firm's work spans six service lines: security risk management, which addresses physical and operational security risks; crisis response, supporting organizations during times of crisis; digital risks, covering digital and cyber threats; political and country risk, providing analysis and advisory on political instability; ethics and compliance, supporting ethical conduct and regulatory adherence; and forensic services, which bring investigative capabilities to bear on integrity challenges.

Technical domains within the business include data and technology, digital risk, risk intelligence and forensic services. Clients range from national and multinational businesses to law firms, government departments and NGOs. The firm describes its mission as helping organizations be secure, compliant and resilient, and positions itself as standing alongside clients in both times of hope and times of crisis.
