Crux Risk specialises in managing and resolving crises involving kidnapping, extortion, hijacking, maritime piracy, product tampering, and wrongful detention. We also tackle broader risk and security challenges, including country evacuations, strategic risk assessments, audits, reputation management, and breach response.

Owned and operated by our crisis response advisers, we have worked with governments, businesses, high net-worth individuals and families, NGOs, and private citizens. We are an energetic, accomplished team – naturally attuned, through direct experience, to the sensitivity of the situations we help resolve. Absolute confidentiality and discretion are fundamental to everything we do.

We work directly with many clients, while others come to us through referrals from global law firms, underwriters, and insurance brokers.

Specialist skills forged through exceptional front-line experience, delivering crisis prevention, intervention and resolution across every continent.

What do We Do ?

Expertise

In a sector defined by overstatement, we deliver precisely what we promise. Senior specialists operating globally - with the agility of a boutique and the reach of a much larger organisation.

Response

Crisis demands clear thinking and immediate action. Our advisers deploy on demand, worldwide, bringing proven methodology and deep situational insight from the first call through to resolution. We are always guided by our clients’ circumstances, never at the expense of their decision-making authority.

Prevention

Anticipating a crisis matters as much as responding to one. We apply the same tradecraft to prevention as to resolution, identifying core risks and delivering robust, practical strategies for organisations and individuals. Because resilience always underpins response.

Our people

Our consultants are drawn from military, intelligence, commercial and journalism backgrounds - highly proficient specialists with demonstrable, current expertise. We deploy individual specialists or integrated teams, and where additional capability is needed, our international network of associates and partners provides specialist skills and local knowledge.
