The PRISI - CTSS team is furthermore unique in that it provides its clients with unparalleled cultural and local knowledge of the nation or area.

We utilize a proven 5 step method to evaluate the potential risks for governmental actors, individuals and firms and their various investments, in this way we get a clear and complete picture of the potential risk and its solutions.
These 5 steps are:
Potential Risk Identification
Risk Assessment and Evaluation
Potential Scenario Planning
Risk Precautions
Pre-emptive and Precautionary Steps
This comprehensive approach ensures that our clients obtain a complete picture of the risks they face and how to best avoid and/or mitigate that risk. Our approach also ensures that the client not only receives consultation on the more obvious risks such as potential political unrest or violent attacks or uprisings, but also that they receive a more detailed analysis on more opaque risk factors such as local corruption, pressure groups, hidden political and environmental liabilities, local labor issues and more. While we generally approach the project in a top down-manner, evaluating the geo-political and national issues first, it is equally important to get a clear picture of the more obscure issues as they could have an equally large impact. When provided with this clear and comprehensive picture our clients are in a better position to evaluate the hazards they can or will face and thus make clear and informed decisions on how to proceed.
