Welcome to Watan Risk Management

Security in Afghanistan

Watan Risk Management, the Watan Groups security division, is able to provide the whole range of security services, including international security management and advisory, security audits and assessments, vetted local guards, shared security, convoy support, training services, screening, CCTV and armoured vehicles.

Many organisations see security as a significant burden and cost; however our philosophy is that security should be seen as an enabler that allows clients to continue their normal operations in a safe manner in an increasingly uncertain security environment.

Watan Risk Management always seeks to fully understand its clients own ethos so as to provide the appropriate security for their individual needs, rather than a one size fits all approach. In particular we work with a large number of NGOs and have an excellent understanding of their particular needs.

As an Afghan company we have a full understanding of both the political and security environment across the country. We also take the approach that all staff are important to an organisations success and ensure both national and international staff are provided with the appropriate security and advice.

Watan Risk Management sets itself apart from all our rivals. It is an Afghan company with a very influential, respected CEO. Watan Risk Management offers a unique combination of:

  • Blended Afghan and Western leadership
  • Unique insider understanding of Afghanistan
  • Ability to operate as part of the Afghan environment
  • Strong tribal relationships
  • Strong ties to the democratic government
  • Effective recruitment and screening process
  • Battle hardened personnel
  • Proactive approach to securing sites and personnel

The Watan Risk Management core skills include:

  • Fully Licensed Security and Risk Management Company
  • Afghan Owned and British Managed - Working towards Afghan Management
  • Building the Capacity of Afghanistan
  • Dedicated to high-levels of service
