Insecurity severely affects the Mexican business sector, where extortion and petty theft dominate victimization. This hostile environment generates significant economic costs that negatively impact companies’ productivity and financial stability, forcing them to allocate considerable resources to preventive measures instead of productive investment. The data reveal a widespread perception of vulnerability, particularly in the transportation and commerce sectors, underscoring the urgent need to improve legal security. Distrust in local police institutions contrasts with the higher valuation of federal forces, highlighting fractures in security governance that require immediate attention to restore business confidence. This information is crucial for the open data movement, as it demonstrates the value of transparency in public statistics. By making these indicators accessible, it fosters accountability, enables civil society to analyze criminal trends, and pressures for evidence-based policies, ensuring that public resources are managed effectively to protect the national productive fabric.
