Geopolitical Impact Assessment

Turn geopolitics into a strategic advantage

Geopolitics is constantly evolving. Sanctions, cyber threats, and market volatility directly affect organisations. But how do you know where your organisation is vulnerable? And more importantly: how do you translate that into action? 

Our Geopolitical Impact Assessment (GIA) provides a clear picture of your exposure to geopolitical risks. This unique, data-driven approach helps you act decisively, so you can navigate this dynamic world with confidence.

What is the Geopolitical Impact Assessment?

GIA is an AI-powered analysis tool that systematically assesses your organisation across ten geopolitical domains. Using over 150 indicators, we map your risks and vulnerabilities. The tool combines public data, relevant internal information, and stakeholder interviews to create a complete and reliable profile of your geopolitical exposure.

The ten geopolitical domains:

1. Legislation and regulation

2. Sanctions

3. Export restrictions and trade tariffs

4. Market volatility

5. Consumers outside the EU

6. Employees and operations abroad

7. Foreign employees in the Netherlands

8. Foreign investments and physical assets

9. Supply chains through unstable countries

10. Cyber, technology, and cloud

How does the Geopolitical Impact Assessment work?

The GIA consists of five steps:

Methodology: why this approach works

The strength of the Geopolitical Impact Assessment lies in combining AI analysis based on structured indicators with complete transparency, where every score can be traced back to its source. We have developed the methodology in collaboration with the Clingendael Institute and it aligns with the expectations of organisations such as the Dutch Central Bank (DNB) and the European Banking Authority.

• Reliable: Only scores with source data are included – no assumptions, no contamination.

• Comparable: Standardisation enables peer reviews and benchmarking.

• Actionable: Risks and recommendations are directly linked to PwC services and experts.

• Board-relevant: Helps guide decisions on risk acceptance, investments, and strategy.
