Compass Security Risk Management.....For organisations operating in complex and high-risk environments.
Our highly experienced team combine strategic governance expertise with real operational capability, helping organisations protect people, assets, and reputation across frontier and emerging markets.
From remote greenfield resource projects to corporate operating environments, our specialists design and implement structured, scalable security frameworks that support safe and resilient operations
"Our consultants have operated in the environments they now advise on"
Compass Security Risk Management is built on real-world operational experience supporting complex projects in challenging environments. Our team has designed and implemented security and risk management frameworks for major international operations, including greenfield mining developments such as the Kurmuk Gold Mine in Ethiopia.
Working alongside corporate leadership, contractors, and host-nation security forces, we have delivered practical security architecture that protects people, critical assets, and operational continuity in remote and high-risk environments. This operational background underpins everything we do — ensuring our advice is grounded in experience, not theory.
Strategic Security Risk Management
Compass provides structured Enterprise Security Risk Management (ESRM) frameworks that align security with organisational objectives. Through threat assessments, risk analysis, and governance-led planning, we help organisations understand their exposure and implement practical measures that protect operations and support informed decision-making.
Compass Security Risk Management (CSRM) operates across Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and the world’s most demanding emerging markets—deploying wherever risk exists, from remote high-threat environments to corporate operations.
We deliver at both strategic and operational levels, bridging boardroom governance with real-world execution in complex, high-risk environments.
Asset Protection & Operational Security
Protecting critical assets requires an integrated approach that combines physical security, operational procedures, and intelligence-led oversight.
Crisis Management & Organisational Resilience
Compass helps organisations prepare for and manage critical incidents, operational disruptions, and complex emergencies.
Greenfield & Remote Project Security
Compass specialises in establishing security architecture for remote and greenfield operations, particularly in natural resources, infrastructure, and development sectors.
Enterprise Intelligence & Threat Monitoring
Operating in complex environments requires more than information — it requires structured intelligence and contextual understanding. Compass integrates open-source, commercial, and proprietary information streams to deliver actionable intelligence that enables organisations to anticipate risk and maintain situational awareness.

COMPASS AFRICA SECURITY INDEX™
Security risk across Africa cannot be understood through headlines alone.
Conflict, political instability, terrorism, organised crime, civil unrest and infrastructure resilience interact differently in every operating environment — and the picture can change quickly.
Compass Security Risk Management has developed the Compass Africa Security Index™ to provide a clear, executive-level view of the security environment across all 54 African countries.
Our assessment combines:
• Verified open-source intelligence
• Security incident reporting
• Political and conflict analysis
• Regional trend assessment
• Government and institutional reporting
• Ground-truth insight and field networks
Each country is assessed against six weighted security pillars, producing a comparative risk score from 1 (Minimal) to 10 (Critical).
But identifying risk is only part of the equation.
Our intelligence products are designed around three questions:
WHAT HAPPENED?
WHY DOES IT MATTER?
WHAT SHOULD OPERATORS DO?
Because intelligence only becomes valuable when it supports better decisions..
Compass System Integration
Compass integrates seamlessly with clients’ existing in-house systems and business intelligence platforms, including Microsoft Power BI, to create a tailored, plug-and-play security risk management capability.
Rather than introducing another standalone system, our team designs solutions that integrate with existing infrastructure, data sources and reporting processes. Security incidents, personnel data, asset protection metrics, operational readiness, risk registers, intelligence and compliance information can be consolidated into a single, decision-focused operating picture.
The result is a system designed around the client’s operation—providing real-time visibility, automated reporting, trend analysis and actionable intelligence while reducing manual administration and fragmented reporting.
Integrate. Visualise. Analyse. Optimise.
Compass turns existing systems and security data into a more connected, measurable and effective Security Risk Management function.
