Top 5 Security Risks For Businesses & Visitors In Pakistan 2026 Update
Operating or travelling in Pakistan presents significant opportunities, but it also demands disciplined risk management.
The following are the major 2026 security risks impacting corporate operations, visiting executives, and critical projects—along with the BPSP services that mitigate each threat.
Political & Civil Unrest
Risk: Periodic demonstrations, regional tensions, and political disruptions can halt supply chains, block major routes, and interrupt day-to-day business—often without advance notice.
- Real-time intelligence and route monitoring via the 24/7 Operations Centre
- Secure transportation ensuring safe movement from point A to point B
- Rapid deployment of crisis-response teams and evacuation planning
- Secure Journey Management for safe, controlled movement during unrest
Terrorism & Targeted Violence
Risk: Militant activity remains a persistent concern, especially within sensitive provinces and large urban centres. High-value business locations face elevated threat profiles.

- Detailed site surveys, blast-mitigation assessments, and hardened access control
- Emergency drills and full-scale preparedness simulations for staff and facilities
Crime & Kidnap for Ransom
Risk: Organised crime—including opportunistic theft, armed robbery, and kidnap for ransom—can impact both foreign and local staff, particularly during movement in remote areas or at inadequately secured facilities.
- Security-trained chauffeurs, vetted vehicles, and airport meet-and-greet
- Executive protection teams and covert asset-tracking solutions
- 24/7 incident monitoring with immediate coordination through law-enforcement channels
Infrastructure & Environmental Disruption
