Risk Management and Consulting

This is the core of the firm,
and for most clients it is where the relationship begins.

Risk management begins with understanding an organisation's exposure: the risks attached to its operations, assets, personnel and activities, and the consequences if those risks materialise. The focus is then on reducing vulnerability, strengthening preparedness, and ensuring that responsibilities, decision-making authority and response arrangements are clearly established before they are needed. The objective is to maintain control when circumstances change.

Crisis Management

When an event is underway, someone must hold the centre.

During a live event, Nar Vault leads the response and advises the client. The technical, legal and communications workstreams are coordinated under a single plan and a single direction. Nar Vault provides a steady hand at the centre, keeping the response measured so your organisation acts with purpose.

Negotiation Strategy

When someone is making demands, let us do the talking.

Nar Vault manages communication with threat actors directly, using techniques drawn from hostage and extortion negotiation. The work is to take control of a demand rather than meet it: slowing the timeline, establishing who is behind it and what they are capable of, and reducing the demand from its opening position.

Specialist Asset and Recovery Situations

Some matters concern a single high-value or irreplaceable asset rather than an organisation. Nar Vault handles extortion, theft and ransom in these cases, where confidentiality counts for as much as recovery.
