AT FOCUSPOINT, WE CREATE VALUE THROUGH VISIBILITY.

Each year we combine our global “ground - truth” intelligence capability with proven analytical methodologies to identify, illuminate and forecast risks.
These risks are reflected in a series of maps that support decision makers from industry, government and nongovernmental organizations. Our global risk maps are developed by senior intelligence specialists and supported by a team of analysts working out of our regional operations centers.

Our Strategic Risk Map or “SRM” is forward looking. It provides a snapshot of how we see global risks in the year ahead. The map is created using a proprietary methodology, to include several hundred risk indices and specific threat indicators to provide visibility of risk exposures worldwide. As the landscape shifts, we utilize a dynamic mapping platform to maintain the most accurate risk picture possible.

FocusPoint is a leader in the response to kidnap for ransom and extortion events. We leverage our exposure in this niche market, coupled with our global footprint and specialty insurance relationship with UK based Griffin Underwriters, Ltd. to provide a realistic snapshot of the global kidnap risk in our Kidnap Risk Map or “KRM” map.

Our Maritime Risk Map or “MRM” provides up to the minute visibility of global piracy events. Event mapping includes location data, the date of the event and the event type. We feel these data points are a critical component of the risk management planning process for private yachting concerns, insurance, commercial shipping, off shore oil and cruise industries.

Our risk maps are a perfect backdrop and valuable reference point for market entry analysis; plotting of potential operational challenges; monitoring of changes in the geo-political environment; and the on-going assessment of security risks facing personnel.
