In a world of geopolitical risk and opportunity, knowledge is power. With boots on the ground investigators and open-source risk intelligence (OSINT) collectors in over 160 countries, we can assist you in safeguarding your investments, operations, and M&A activity with real-time risk intelligence so you can see what your competitors do not.
At Infortal Worldwide, you will work with a dedicated core team of risk intelligence professionals with years of experience in intelligence, law and law enforcement, academia, and investigation who have a worldwide reach to help solve the geopolitical risks you face. With Infortal, you won’t get empty advice, but hands-on assistance in solving crisis before it starts.
At Infortal Worldwide, we break down geopolitical and country risks so you and your executive team avoid liability, and your investors avoid losses. Geopolitical risks come in various forms, but our worldwide risk intelligence capabilities and assets can provide you with critical information to secure first-mover advantage and advanced warning.
We specialize in combining open-source (OSINT) intelligence with in-country risk intelligence assets to gather and identify hidden and undisclosed risks. Once risk intelligence is collected, we work with your executive team and legal counsel to identify liabilities and give you a crystal-clear view of the threats to your profitability and reputation tailored to your interests.
Supply chains link you to the global economy. Supply chains are more than just your suppliers, but include access to capital, customers in your target markets, and the third-parties that supply you. Supply chains are fragile to disruption from war, inefficiency due to macroeconomic conditions, higher costs due to crime and corruption. Active risk intelligence is needed to ensure your supply chains are safe, secure, and efficient.
With our risk intelligence personnel in over 160 countries, we can identify weaknesses in your supply chains as they emerge due to geopolitical risks. In the case of war, crisis, or political pressure, we help you find new suppliers and markets to ensure a continuity and profitability of your operations. In your M&A transactions, we go beyond traditional valuation and leverage risk intelligence to find the hidden risks and opportunities in your target markets.
We offer you leverage to negotiate prices beneficial to you, and mitigate risks over the course of the integration process. We harden your supply chains by making them flexible and detecting threats before and as they emerge.
We ensure you avoid sanctions violations and other regulatory violations through screening new partners, clients and customers using our proprietary risk intelligence assets and networks.
Sanctions regimes around the world are growing increasingly complex due to geopolitical tensions between China and the US, and it is important to make sure you have adequate screening and due diligence processes in place to mitigate those geopolitical risks.
Infortal’s rigorous approach to Sanctions Due Diligence coupled with in-country intelligence will make certain your sanctions risk is minimized at every level of your business. You’ll know how to manage emerging sanctions compliance requirements and protect your reputation in the process.
Every country is an ecosystem of political risk and opportunity.
Infortal’s country risk reports are not off the shelf or reliant upon news media. Our customized risk intelligence reports support your business strategy and provide the analysis your company needs to move ahead with confidence.
With our risk intelligence assets on the ground and our network of experts around the world, we identify threats to your interests in your country of operation and assess the risks to your business from bad actors, instability, and unpredictable economic threats.
We offer tailored monitoring, threat assessments, and in-country assistance to your business in order to give advanced warning of crisis, and mitigation once it occurs.
New markets are more than just numbers. Every economy is embedded in culture and carries its own pitfalls and possibilities. We offer you cutting-edge business risk intelligence powered by the best OSINT analysis available and supported by in-country risk intelligence personnel to verify facts, collect information, and monitor threats in assisting your operations.
Our business intelligence gives you the edge you need to outpace your competitors when you enter into a new market.
Geopolitical risks are people risks. Our executive deep-dive due diligence screens your personnel, partners, suppliers, and executives for political exposure, corruption, criminal risks, and lurking threats to your reputation.
With our risk intelligence capabilities, our executive protection assets, and analytical techniques, we help protect your business from threats ranging from crime to terrorism, corruption, corporate espionage, and theft.
You do not want to unknowingly provide material support to terrorist groups or malicious state-owned enterprises (SOEs) through your business dealings or third-party contracts. Such breaches in intelligence and due diligence can destroy your reputation overnight.
Instability is the norm in most countries. Political polarization, ethnic tensions, criminal gangs, and conflicts in the form of civil war, terrorism, and interstate war are all geopolitical risks that threaten business beyond what insurance policies can cover.
Infortal uses proprietary and vetted in-country investigators and risk intelligence assets who know the language and local political and business climates. Our risk intelligence assets are broader and faster than that of most governments, and offer your company legal risk intelligence capabilities to safeguard your assets and beat your competitors.
We also offer armed protection services and executive travel protection to ensure that your leadership team and assets are safe. We not only help solve the crisis before it starts; we get you out of it once it begins.
When contingency planning is key to mitigating geopolitical risks, our geopolitical risk intelligence professionals help you craft strategic backup plans for your supply chains in the event of a conflict.
Social unrest can disrupt business operations, spike insurance premiums, and render markets untenable. Risk intelligence allows you to predict social movements that lead to unrest, and provide you the information and leverage to avoid chaos.
At Infortal, we have expertise in assessing local conditions to provide real time analysis on the likelihood of riots, protests, or even boycotts against your brand. When entering a new market, it is critical to get a pulse on the social dynamics that may impact your operations down the road. Due diligence investigations layered with business risk intelligence can assist your legal counsel, your legislative analyst, and your security team with crisis mitigation.
Reputation takes years to develop and carries your brand farther than any single ad or marketing campaign. Reputation can also be destroyed in a day due to a deepfake, a bad social media post, or a corporate scandal. Even a targeted campaign by activists can destroy your image.
At Infortal, we help you protect your reputation and business image by augmenting your reputation management and marketing teams with risk intelligence to make your responses cheaper and more effective. We can screen your executives and workers to mitigate scandals in advance, and screen your corporate partners so that you know with whom you do business.
We assist you in avoiding costly marketing mistakes by deploying intelligence methods to screen and test new products and initiatives in safe focus groups conditioned to market conditions. If you are repairing your reputation, we can give accurate information on the state of your image with key demographics and how it affects your business by monitoring how your customers and investors view you.
Real time business intelligence from Infortal can identify possible public relations threats that can harm your company. Risk intelligence can gauge the likelihoods of each risk based on your corporate profile and country of operation.
Our advisory services and real-time risk intelligence monitoring can protect you from threats to your reputation by gaining you precious time to get ahead of crisis.
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) risks are more than a fad. ESG is not new, but combines long-existing environmental laws, and regulations related toand corporate social responsibility, and internal corporate governance.
When you work with Infortal to address your ESG risks, we can assess your supply chains and suppliers for environmental standards, human trafficking and slave labor risks, and conduct internal audits to identify and rectify shortfalls in governance and compliance. Once risks are identified, we assist you in crafting and executing plans to avoid costly scandals and fines.
If your business is involved in international litigation, our risk intelligence and investigation services can help you win. Not all legal systems ensure good protection of property rights or fair trials. Evidence can be difficult to locate, and certain jurisdictions can place you at an inherent disadvantage.
Additionally, you may find that similar prior litigation has occurred or that your reputation or your products are under attack by unidentified parties. Our risk intelligence assets can help determine who is causing damage to your reputation. With our expertise, you will be forearmed to navigate your crisis and succeed through it.
