Helping organizations develop geopolitical and regulatory risk management strategies and meet evolving requirements.

NAVIGATING GLOBAL RISK

Managing Geopolitical & Regulatory Challenges

The Chertoff Group’s Geopolitical & Regulatory Risk practice helps companies address national security concerns. Our expertise spans supply chain resilience, regulatory compliance, Information and Communications Technology (ICT) security, trade stability, geopolitical readiness and government affairs. We provide targeted supply chain, regulatory, trade and geopolitical risk assessments that inform your investment and operational strategies. We also guide foreign companies through the U.S. regulatory framework. Our team, tools and global reach deliver solutions that keep you compliant and competitive.

Our team includes former regulators, national security practitioners and supply chain experts. We work with U.S. domestic and multinational companies operating in technology, defense and aerospace, transportation and other critical infrastructure sectors.

While all risk cannot be eliminated, The Chertoff Group illuminates risk, so you can make better informed decisions and protect your assets.

STRATEGIC SOLUTIONS

Regulatory Compliance

Close attention to compliance protects your federal contracts and avoids penalties. Our experts review and counsel companies on regulations including defense cybersecurity standards, Commerce export and trade controls and presidential executive orders.

We identify non-compliance risks including fines, contract losses and scrutiny from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), then provide actionable guidance to close gaps. We advise companies on foreign investment risk and draft mitigation plans that address Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI) concerns.

SUPPLY CHAIN

Security & Resilience

Supply chain vulnerabilities such as material dependencies, trade disruptions, supplier risks and cyber weaknesses pose significant threats to national security and critical industry operations. We assess multi-tiered supply chains and identify and correct single-source dependencies and compliance concerns.

The ICT supply chain is a complex, globally interconnected ecosystem. Our solutions secure it and confirm authenticity. We conduct supplier integrity reviews and counterfeit detection programs that strengthen resilience and keep operations aligned with federal security standards.

Through our strategic partnerships with leading technology providers, we conduct multi-tier supply chain audits and NIST 800-161 cyber supply chain risk management (C-SCRM) assessments and program development. Our managed services continuously monitor your supply chain, regulatory and geopolitical exposure, identifying single-source dependencies and compliance gaps as conditions change.
