Compass Africa Security Index™
A comparative executive-level view of the security environment across all 54 African countries, designed to support security, mining, travel and asset-protection decisions.
Evidence-based. Multi-source. Actionable.
The Compass Africa Security Index™ is a comparative decision-support index for corporate security, mining, travel and asset-protection planning across Africa. No single source determines a score. Quantitative event data, structural indicators, contextual intelligence and verified ground truth are triangulated.
Final scores are Compass SRM analytical judgements rather than ratings issued by the underlying source organisations.
| Pillar | Weight |
|---|---|
| Conflict & Political Violence | 30% |
| Political / State Stability | 20% |
| Terrorism | 15% |
| Crime & Kidnap | 10% |
| Civil Unrest | 10% |
| Infrastructure / Response Capacity | 10% |
| Ground-Truth Adjustment | 5% |
Ground truth matters.
Unverified single-source claims are flagged and cannot independently drive a score. Material changes require multi-source confirmation where practicable, analytical confidence is recorded, and verified operational intelligence can inform a bounded ground-truth adjustment with an analyst note and source record.
