PSA: Your Over-The-Horizon Radar

Every initiative involves two types of risk: the immediate and the unforeseen. As seasoned local experts in the Philippines, we leverage decades of fieldwork and strategic advisory experience, both locally and globally, to help you quantify present risk and anticipate future challenges. Supported by an extensive network across the Philippines and Southeast Asia, we provide the insight and expertise needed for effective, forward-thinking planning.

Risk Assessment

Risk assessment is a vital tool for empowering market entrants and investors, optimizing operations, and evaluating alternative investments to minimize risks while maximizing opportunities and returns. Our analysis covers safety and security risks specific to a location, including threats from local groups, and integrates broader risk factors such as political, regulatory, and commercial concerns to provide a comprehensive understanding of the landscape.

Risk Management

Modern leaders must adopt a proactive, forward-thinking approach to risk management, guided by clear, unbiased analysis. We empower leaders with timely, evidence-based, and locally-grounded tools to support informed decision-making. Through an iterative, capacity-building approach, we help you develop tailored mitigation strategies for your unique risk profile. From identifying and quantifying your organization's risk matrix to addressing gaps — whether upgrading on-premise security features like CCTV placement or improving internal security processes — we provide expert support to enhance your resilience. 

Managed Travel

Our Business Intelligence unit creates tailored travel plans for in-country executives, grounded in the latest crime, insurgency, and political data. Additionally, we assist in assembling comprehensive executive protection solutions, leveraging our trusted security networks to connect you with experienced professionals equipped to meet your unique protection and travel needs.

Training

We provide a range of training courses, from Situational Awareness to tailored programs aligned with your internal security policies. Designed for corporate clients, our groups sessions are led by experience instructors and can be delivered online or on-site, adhering to local quarantine guidelines.

Local Expertise, Global Know-How

Strong government connections and effective community relations are vital for long-term success in the Philippines. Navigating local norms and knowing the right contacts are essential for seamless operations. With over 30 years of experience in security and risk management across rural and urban areas, we offer unmatched expertise and networks to support your goals.
