Strengthening ESG Compliance and Critical Infrastructure Resilience with Subnational Political Risk Intelligence
MBI Joins the osapiens HUB Store
Karlsruhe, 09.11.2026 (PresseBox) - Michael Bauer International GmbH (MBI), a leading provider of global market, geospatial and political risk data, joins the osapiens HUB Store as a launch partner. Together with osapiens, the AI platform for compliance and supplier intelligence that enables osapiens users to manage risk and become more resilient, MBI is making standardized subnational political risk intelligence available directly within the osapiens HUB Store. The collaboration enables users to automate regional risk assessments, strengthen supply chain resilience, and support compliance with the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG) and the EU Critical Entities Resilience (CER) Directive.
Bringing Trusted Political Risk Intelligence to the osapiens HUB Store
Officially launched on November 9, 2026, the osapiens HUB Store brings together expert-built compliance content from a growing ecosystem of trusted partners, making specialized expertise directly accessible to osapiens customers. The osapiens HUB Store is an on-demand source for expert-built compliance content that lives directly inside the osapiens HUB where customers get direct access to a wide selection of expert-built regulatory content, reporting templates, supplier questionnaires and regulatory bundles from vetted partners ? unlimited compliance content built by experts.
As one of the selected launch partners, MBI contributes its CONIAS Political Risk Data to the osapiens HUB Store, enabling customers to access standardized subnational geopolitical risk intelligence directly within their existing osapiens workflows. The ready-to-use data helps organizations assess regional political risks without additional data preparation or complex integration efforts, making specialized risk intelligence more accessible for compliance, due diligence and resilience planning.
Granular Political Risk Intelligence for Better Decision-Making
Unlike traditional country-level assessments, MBI's CONIAS Political Risk Data delivers standardized political risk intelligence for more than 3,500 subnational regions worldwide. Organizations gain a more precise understanding of localized risks that may impact suppliers, production sites, logistics networks or critical infrastructure.
The solution is available in two complementary modules. Module 1 provides current political risk indicators, including conflict intensity, conflict density, incident counts and recent conflict developments. Module 2 adds a forward-looking assessment, identifying regions where conflict intensity is expected to increase over the coming twelve months. Both modules are updated quarterly, ensuring organizations have access to reliable and up-to-date geopolitical risk intelligence.
Seamless Integration with Global Standards
A key advantage of the partnership is the seamless integration of MBI's ISO 3166-2 compliant datasets into the osapiens HUB Store. Because the data follows the internationally recognized regional standard, organizations benefit from a true plug-and-play implementation without complex data mapping or manual harmonization, significantly reducing implementation effort and ongoing data maintenance.
"Together with osapiens, we are bringing trusted geopolitical risk intelligence directly into the workflows where organizations manage compliance and supply chain risks," said Ray Roberts-York, Managing Director of Michael Bauer International GmbH. "Our globally standardized subnational data enables customers to identify regional risks earlier, improve the quality of their assessments and reduce the manual effort traditionally associated with geopolitical risk analysis."
Supporting Compliance and Critical Infrastructure Resilience
With the EU Critical Entities Resilience (CER) Directive, organizations are increasingly required to strengthen operational resilience alongside regulatory compliance. For operators of critical infrastructure, including utilities, energy providers, transportation companies and telecommunications organizations, precise regional risk intelligence is becoming essential for assessing risks to critical assets and supply chains.
For organizations operating geographically distributed assets, the integration provides a significant operational advantage. Instead of relying solely on national-level reports, security, risk and compliance teams gain access to validated subnational political risk intelligence for individual regions. This enables more precise risk assessments, supports proactive resource planning and helps organizations better protect critical infrastructure and business operations.
Reliable Data for Better Risk Management
A key differentiator of MBI's political risk intelligence is the quality of the underlying data. The datasets are validated through a multi-stage verification process and delivered in a globally standardized ISO 3166-2 format. By replacing fragmented manual research with structured, consistently validated regional datasets, organizations can reduce inconsistencies in geopolitical risk assessments while creating a reliable foundation for due diligence, resilience planning, audits and regulatory reporting.
?Regulation is growing faster than any single company can keep pace with on its own. With MBI contributing to the osapiens HUB Store, we're bringing deep, vetted expertise directly to our customers without adding complexity to their technology stack.? ? Matthias Jungblut, Co-CEO and Co-Founder, osapiens
The partnership reflects the shared commitment of MBI and osapiens to helping organizations navigate an increasingly complex geopolitical landscape. By contributing its specialized political risk expertise to the growing osapiens HUB Store ecosystem, MBI helps make reliable, data-driven intelligence more accessible to organizations worldwide. Over the coming months, both companies plan to further expand the joint offering with additional analytical capabilities, enabling customers to move beyond compliance reporting toward proactive, data-driven supply chain resilience.
