Security Risk Management

We work in partnership with our clients to deliver measurable improvements in their security. Our security assessments reference industry approved international standards and reflect our locally experience of best business practice.

Our Security Risk Management Team

We draw on our locally expertise and experience to ensure our clients have access to industry best practice. We provide expert advice, counsel and decision support to enable our customers to mitigate strategic and operational risks to their business.

Our approach focuses upon the desired outcome the client wishes to achieve. Our approach places greater emphasis on the people aspects of the security infrastructure. Coupled with the physical and cyber aspects, the solutions we develop include the arrangements for developing a security culture for the organisation – its resilience and its integration into the overall company structure; this includes not just the final facility operational staffing but the whole design, procurement, installation and commissioning.

consultants have a wide range of backgrounds and skills but we believe it is our years of practical experience of operating on projects across OCEAN gives a unique insight to the challenges and the opportunities our clients face.

We are able to apply our resources and knowledge of local conditions, regulations, threats and risk environments on behalf of clients anywhere in the world.

OCEAN NATIONAL CRISIS CELL CAPABILITY

OCEAN Risk Consulting recognizes that COVID-19 is a locally pandemic but that the impact is national. The crisis is medical, but the impacts will be diverse and dependent on a wide variety of national factors. There is competition for scarce resources even in the world’s leading economies. In countries where inequities already strain relations this competition will have far-reaching consequences. Decision-making will be hard. The OCEAN National Crisis Cell Capability (NCCC) seeks to make it just a little bit easier.

Intelligence and Advisory Services

Seize opportunities safely and successfully – locally intelligence, assured decisions

Our Approach

Exposure to political and business risks pose challenges for investment and operational security locally , particularly in the emerging, volatile and frontier markets. Understanding these risks through intelligence analysis, advisory and insight can mark the difference between success and safety, financial or reputational loss.

OCEAN Risk Consulting fuses open source information with the insights drawn from our extensive locally footprint and on-the-ground networks in more than 90 countries to provide incisive foresight and informed strategic advice to companies, governments and individuals working in these challenging, unfamiliar or opaque markets.

Our approach is based on committed partnership with our clients.

We work collaboratively to understand the objectives and challenges our clients face so that we can build a comprehensive intelligence picture to answer not just the ‘why’ and ‘how’ but the ‘so what’, the ‘what next’ and the ‘what if’.

Our trained open source intelligence analysts are regional and thematic experts and regularly spend time on the ground working with our OCEAN country teams and supporting project delivery. This ensures our clients receive the very highest level of support and access to the best available information and analysis. Central to our confidence in meeting the objectives and quality expectations of our clients is the level of access we offer to our analyst team. This enables our team to comprehensively understand the challenges our clients face and develop appropriate responses.
