Pinkerton President Jack Zahran made the announcement. “The risk landscape continues to rapidly change and evolve, and as we continue to identify global threats impacting business continuity, we recognized a need to expand our footprint in a way that enhances our ability to view risk holistically from a global standpoint,” said Zahran. “Acquiring a well known and highly respected risk management services provider like IBBC Group with an established presence throughout Europe furthers Pinkerton’s ability to provide local services and solutions while leveraging resources from all over the world.”
IBBC Group’s team of lawyers, investigators, analysts, IT engineers and experts from various industries offer clients complex consulting services and solutions in all fields and industries—including background screenings & due diligence, business intelligence & investigations, crisis management, forensic & litigation consulting, security management & consultancy, and political & security risk analysis.
