The following consolidated list explains how the Security Risk Management (SRM) practice of Kroll, a division of Kroll can assist firms globally in the immediate to long-term future with business operations impacted by COVID-19. Guidance on which level of support your business might need will be taken into consideration dependent upon the status of outbreak in your region.
