Geopolitical, Political & Country Risk Advisory
Intelligence-grade geopolitical risk advisory for senior leaders making decisions where political, regulatory, and security dynamics are material but poorly understood.
Published risk ratings and consultant reports describe conditions. Veritas Intelligence explains what they mean for your specific transaction, operation, or investment — drawing on decades of CIA operational experience in the regions where your exposure is greatest.

Geopolitical Risk Services
Every engagement is tailored to the client's specific decision, jurisdiction, and risk tolerance.
Geopolitical Risk Advisory
Strategic intelligence on the political, regulatory, and security dynamics shaping markets, transactions, and operations in complex jurisdictions. Designed for principals and investment committees making decisions where geopolitical factors are material but poorly understood.
Country Risk Assessment
In-depth country risk analysis combining political stability, regulatory environment, rule of law, corruption indices, security conditions, and sanctions exposure. Calibrated for market entry, capital deployment, and operational planning — not academic research.
Political Risk Analysis
Assessment of political risk factors including regime stability, policy trajectory, regulatory capture, expropriation risk, and the intersection of political power with commercial activity. Intelligence-grade analysis for jurisdictions where published risk ratings are insufficient.
Cross-Border Investment Risk
Intelligence support for investors evaluating opportunities across jurisdictions where political, regulatory, and security risk intersect. We identify risks that investor decks, management presentations, and conventional due diligence do not surface.
Supply Chain Geopolitical Risk
Assessment of geopolitical exposure across supply chain networks — identifying concentration risk, sanctions vulnerability, political instability in sourcing regions, and regulatory shifts that could disrupt operations or trigger compliance liability.
Market Entry Risk Advisory
Pre-entry intelligence for organizations evaluating expansion into complex or emerging markets. We assess the political, security, regulatory, and corruption landscape — including risks from local partners, intermediaries, and government relationships.
From Analysis to Actionable Strategy
Geopolitical risk analysis without actionable mitigation strategies is academic exercise. Veritas Intelligence delivers intelligence designed for decisions — with clear recommendations calibrated to the client's specific exposure, risk tolerance, and operational context.
Best-case, worst-case, and most-likely scenarios with probability-weighted implications
Pre-positioned response plans for political transitions, regulatory shifts, and security deterioration
Identification of key political, commercial, and security actors shaping the operating environment
Continuous intelligence on evolving conditions with threshold-based alerting for material changes
