Risk consulting services and digital solutions in Mexico
Riskop works in four services: political and social risk, corporate security, narratives and digital solutions. A consulting project starts with a specific decision, such as expanding a plant or choosing among several areas to invest in, and ends in a risk agenda with owners and dates. The platforms track the area between projects.
Our four services and what each one covers
Intelligence
Before you invest in a plant or change how it is used.
- Operating environment risk assessment and social license
- Social impact assessment
- Stakeholder mapping
- Water and climate risk
- Situational reports and open-source intelligence
- Strategic foresight and scenarios
- Reputational intelligence (RIS)
- Social Impact Statement (MIS) for energy projects
- ESG perspective and performance
Security
For the people responsible for plant security and for freight on the highway.
Narratives
When a local issue starts to attach to your company’s name.
Digital solutions
When your team needs to follow incidents, conversation or stakeholders every day, or needs a platform of its own.
By industry
What Riskop has done in each industry and the problems it handles there.
- Mining and metals
Who has a say in the operation, the social impact of an expansion, and media coverage.
- Industry and manufacturing
Cement, steel, metals and industrial parks; neighbor perception, local impact and emergencies.
- Food and beverage
Bottlers, brewers and produce exporters; water, social license and new facilities.
- Retail and consumer goods
Supermarkets and convenience stores; in-store incidents, contested openings and local listening.
- Strategic infrastructure and energy
Communities, stakeholders and access roads around an energy or infrastructure project.
- Public sector and urban development
Universities and governments; how the neighborhoods around an urban program change over time.
One-off project or ongoing support
One-off project
An operating environment risk assessment, a social impact assessment or a comparison of candidate sites is a project with a scope, fieldwork and delivery dates agreed before it starts.
Ongoing support
The same survey is repeated with the same design to compare year over year, open-source reports arrive on an agreed schedule, and between surveys your team can track the area with TRIS or LIS.
Frequently asked questions
Do you work on projects or on an ongoing basis?
Both. An operating environment risk assessment or a social impact assessment is a project with delivery dates. A survey can be repeated a year later with the same design, and between surveys your team can track the area with TRIS or LIS.
How does a project start?
With a call with one of our specialists, where you tell us what decision you are facing: investing, expanding a plant, or handling tension with neighbors or authorities. From there we propose the scope, sources, fieldwork and delivery dates.
Do you work outside Nuevo León?
Yes. Our office is in San Pedro Garza García, in the Monterrey area, and fieldwork happens wherever the operation is, in any Mexican state and in other Latin American countries. Riskop’s case studies include projects in northern, northeastern and western Mexico.
Can we contract a platform without a consulting project?
Yes, and the other way around. TRIS and LIS can be contracted on their own, with a proposal based on the regions, users or topics you need to cover, and a consulting project doesn’t require a platform. SET is offered as a pilot program.
Can one project cover more than one service?
Yes. A site selection assessment compares the social, political and security conditions of each candidate area in a single study. An operating environment risk assessment can end with a community engagement policy, which is part of our narratives work. The scope follows the decision your company is facing.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the number of sites, the fieldwork and the deliverables. We scope it with you after the first call with a specialist; Riskop does not publish prices.
Every project starts with the decision your company is facing
