In Indonesia, there are always solutions to problems. RISK MANAGEMENT ADVISORY helps you find them. Indonesia's premier security consultant, its services include:

  • Due Diligence
    RISK MANAGEMENT ADVISORY conducts discrete, detailed due diligence of businesses and their Indonesian principals for all forms of business ventures.

  • Provincial Intelligence
    Given the nation's policy of decentralization, it is more important than ever before that clients remain updated on activities within the specific areas where their businesses are located. No other security consultancy can offer a similar range of information from academic, business, and government sources, or the expertise to analyze that data and give you the intelligence you need to make any important decision about corporate security.

  • Risk Analysis
    With security risks varying greatly from province to province and sector to sector, RISK MANAGEMENT ADVISORY can bring its wide range of expertise to bear in preparing timely and accurate risk assessments for your existing or anticipated business in Indonesia.

  • Information Service
    RISK MANAGEMENT ADVISORY has the most detailed, complete security information service available in Indonesia-and at the best price. Each week, subscribers receive weekly Situation Reports for Jakarta and more than ten other locations around Indonesia, monthly risk assessments for all these locales, SMS alerts on breaking news within Jakarta, access to a password-protected website, and twenty-four hour security advice from an RISK MANAGEMENT ADVISORY consultant.

  • Security Consulting
    RISK MANAGEMENT ADVISORY provides a full range of security consulting, everything from single-session briefings to the provision of full-time security managers using world-best practices.

  • Security Reviews/Security Audits
    For established business activities-factories, office complexes, mine sites, plantations, among others- RISK MANAGEMENT ADVISORY conducts security audits to determine whether existing security measures are adequate to handle current or likely threat scenarios. More than ever, this is necessary given Indonesia's ever-changing security environment. For pending business operations, RISK MANAGEMENT ADVISORY conducts security reviews to gauge and plan the necessary security profile.

  • Contingency Planning
    RISK MANAGEMENT ADVISORY can help corporates plan for all forms of security-related contingencies likely to be encountered in Indonesia, including business continuity plans and crisis management.

  • Community Relations
    Since 1998, it has become crucial for companies to have proper relations with the communities in which they work. Such community relations plans need to be properly tailored, taking into account the social expectations that are unique to the client's area of operations. RISK MANAGEMENT ADVISORY can assist with both the planning and implementation of such plans.

  • Evacuation Planning
    As was proved necessary in the recent past, all companies should have current evacuation plans for expatriate employees, their dependents, and key indigenous personnel. RISK MANAGEMENT ADVISORY can provide realistic, tailored evacuation plans for all likely contingencies in any part of Indonesia.

  • Penetration Testing
    RISK MANAGEMENT ADVISORY has the best access to highly-qualified Indonesian nationals that can conduct penetration testing of rural and urban business sites in conjunction with security audits.

THE CAMBODIAN WARS: CLASHING ARMIES AND CIA COVERT OPERATIONS
by Ken Conboy

For most Americans, Cambodia was a sideshow to the war in Vietnam, but by the time of the Vietnam invasion of Democratic Kampuchea in 1978 and the subsequent war, it had finally moved to center stage. Kenneth Conboy chronicles the violence that plagued Cambodia from World War II until the end of the twentieth century and peels back the layers of secrecy that surrounded the CIA’s covert assistance to anticommunist forces in Cambodia during that span.

Conboy’s path-breaking study provides the first complete assessment of CIA ops in two key periods—during the Khmer Republic’s existence (1970–1975), in support of American military action in Vietnam, and during the Reagan and first Bush presidencies (1981–1991), when the CIA challenged Soviet expansion by supporting exiled royalists, Republicans, and even former Communists trying to expel the Vietnamese from their country. Through interviews with dozens of CIA Cambodia veterans—as well as special forces officers from Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, and Australia—he sheds new light on the contributions made by foreign intelligence services. Through information gleaned from the U.S. Defense Attache’s Office in Phnom Penh, he offers a detailed look at the development of the Khmer Rouge military structure, while his use of Vietnamese-language histories released by the People’s Army of Vietnam helps more fully illuminate the PAVN’s participation in the Cambodian wars. 

More than a simple exposé of CIA activities, however, The Cambodian Wars is also an authoritative history of that country’s struggles over half a century. Conboy examines Cambodia as kingdom, colony, republic, revolutionary state, and Vietnamese satellite, and offers fresh insight into the actions of key players—Norodom Sihanouk, Lon Nol, Sisowath Sirik Matak, Son Ngoc Thanh, and others—that will enlighten even those who think they know that country’s history.

Three decades in the making, The Cambodian Wars tells a little known chapter in the Cold War in which non-communists pulled off a surprising victory. Featuring dozens of photos covering events from 1970 to the trial of Pol Pot in 1997, it is must reading for anyone interested in contemporary Southeast Asian history, CIA covert operations, and the Vietnam War.
