How we gather and process security information
How We Calculate Risk Levels
Our security risk assessment methodology combines multiple factors to determine the severity level for each country or region:
- Incident Frequency: Number of security incidents reported within the selected time period
- Incident Type: Categorization of events (terrorism, civil unrest, armed conflict, etc.)
- Casualty Count: Number of casualties reported in security incidents
- Geographic Spread: Whether incidents are isolated or widespread across a region
- Source Reliability: Credibility assessment of reporting sources
- Historical Context: Comparison with historical security patterns in the region
The resulting severity score (1-10) provides a standardized measure of security risk across different regions, allowing for objective comparison and informed decision-making for operations in Africa.
