Pilgrims Group: Information and intelligence - Products

Pilgrims Global Stability Index

Pilgrims analysts continually monitor 235 countries across the globe, assessing political and economic stability, levels of criminality and terrorism, and other issues that may impact on the interest of our clients. Countries are graded for risk and stability against Pilgrims' well-developed criteria, or they can be measured against a client's own risk-scoring system. Either way, the results are delivered online or direct to desktop or PDA, with updates flashed around the world by SMS, email or voice-mail. We ensure that corporate security teams, risk managers and business travellers have the information they need, when they need it, and in easy-to-use formats.

Risk and Response Matrices

Because we understand the diverse information and intelligence needs of different sectors and clients, we can build bespoke systems for clients that complement and support the routine reporting and analysis of our Global Stability Index. Security and risk managers can select regions, countries and even individual cities for which they need specific risk reporting. Our analysts review this selection on a weekly (or more frequent) basis, linking the reporting to the clientÕs own security procedures and measures.

Country Reporting

Pilgrims' Country Reports provide in-depth analysis of political and economic issues, levels of criminality and terrorism, and essential information on health, travel and infrastructure. These reports are essential reading for business travellers and corporate security and risk managers alike.

Country Handbooks

Pilgrims publishes a series of country handbooks designed for people working in challenging and potentially hostile parts of the world. These handbooks provide background on the country and guidance on cultural, security and health issues.
