Frequently asked questions
How does this consulting relate to TRIS?
TRIS is Riskop’s security incident platform. In a security engagement it maps the incidents and risk corridors around your sites and routes, and sends your team email alerts.
Can you assess a site before we invest?
Yes. We compare candidate areas against the same criteria, using household surveys, interviews with local stakeholders and open sources, and deliver a risk rating for each area with an executive summary.
Do you work with companies new to Mexico?
Yes. We work with foreign companies that operate in Mexico or plan to.
Can you review several plants against the same criteria?
Yes. A single questionnaire on protocols, drills, mutual-aid committees and relations with authorities produces a score by site and by region, so the company knows where to act first. We used it across the parks of a developer with sites in the north, the Bajío and central Mexico.
Do you look at criminal pressure that doesn’t come with violence, such as extortion?
Yes. We review the ways it usually gets in: hiring, suppliers, transport of goods and people, union representation and municipal paperwork. Each channel gets an owner inside the company, and what the company will not do under any circumstances is put in writing, with its escalation path.
