Research and Information Support Center (RISC)
Under the Department of State's Overseas Security Advisory Council (OSAC), the Research and Information Support Center (RISC) are dedicated solely to security issues concerning American private sector organizations doing business abroad. They are assigned geographic regions and economic sectors and conduct research on relevant issues. They add significantly to the substance of the OSAC website and are available for questions and research.

On the OSAC website, issues that the RISC staff are studying and researching are listed. In addition, we hope to have the ability to conduct interactive surveys of the private sector through this are site.
