Valar empowers public and private sector clients by leveraging comprehensive in-house risk management capabilities. Our expert staff provides both the local insights to quickly identify emerging risks and on-the-ground security capabilities to mitigate these risks before they endanger a project. We can quickly develop a granular intelligence picture, deploy expert security staff, and build local capacity specifically tailored to local contexts.
We have used this integrated approach to deliver strategic advantages to diverse industries, including multinational corporations pursuing critical mineral exploration, technology companies expanding into the Global South, global aviation firms working in emerging markets, and procurement delivery to Western embassies, private sector companies, and international NGOs.

Valar provides a strategic advantage through local relationships, expertise, and engagement. We specialize in overcoming information barriers to offer detailed, on-the-ground situational awareness for investments, policies, and programs in complex environments. Valar has worked in more than 30 countries on five continents, helping clients uncover hidden risks to operate with confidence.
Valar has supported the U.S. Department of State in Somalia for more than a decade, conducting extensive field research across the country, from Mogadishu to remote regions. We provide granular situational awareness rooted in local realities, informing U.S. policy and operational decisions to mitigate risks and guide successful outcomes.

Valar’s security experts provide hands-on and sector-specific support tailored to local contexts. We minimize physical and reputational risks by working directly with clients on-site, staying aligned with their teams, adapting to local developments in real time, and creating a safe environment around captial-intensive projects.
Our team delivers local expertise, technical skills, and niche linguistic capabilities alongside our clients. We have deep and specialized experience in the industries that we support, including law enforcement, mineral exploration, and security capacity building.

Valar has extensive experience working with foreign partners to develop sustainable, effective, and representative security capacity. We operate across contexts to build transparent, enduring, and impactful long-term partnerships.
One of our most significant contributions has been enabling the safe expansion of commercial air travel to Aden International Airport in Yemen and Aden Adde International Airport in Somalia. We are implementing the U.S. Department of State aviation security programs in both countries to build sustainable, national-level infrastructure, including the development of comprehensive policies, threat detection systems, and training programs.
