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.
The firm formed a joint venture with International SOS in 2008, and through this partnership provides travel security services and advice to clients’ business travelers and expatriate employees. In 2010, the firm Risks launched an eDiscovery offering to support organisations with complex, multinational litigation issues.
The company has 3,000 employees, operating from 36 offices and with a presence in more than 100 countries and cities.
