Our take
Global upheavals over recent years have underscored the importance of risk management across all sectors, and at the highest levels - from multinational enterprises to governments. Kharon is a research and analysis firm providing risk management services to the lot. It helps identify and mitigate risk across sanctions and financial crimes compliance, threat identification, and supply chain vulnerabilities.
Kharon is majority founded by the team behind strategic consultancy firm The Camstoll Group, many of them ex-US Treasury officials with deep US policy insights and expertise in areas like intelligence and sanctions. This has helped Kharon build out a service with broad-reaching complexity and depth that caters to a wide range of clients, including the US Department of Defence, BAE Systems, Barclays, Nike, Microsoft, and the Agricultural Bank of China.
This breadth of clientele, combined with deep experience and granular analytics, makes Kharon a relatively unrivalled risk intelligence provider. With globalization continuing apace, and organizations facing increasing threats across areas like cybersecurity and crypto, this kind of service is only going to grow in importance.
