Risk Management | Holistic Security | Leadership and Governance
In times of economic difficulties, it is natural for security budgets to be reduced in any sized organisation. Security and risk professionals must do more with less. Using tried and tested risk management principles, we will assist any security and risk manager to prioritise what needs doing and why.
The issue facing businesses
Security and risk professionals are tasked with protecting organisations’ assets – their people, places, information or operations. Threat actors are becoming more sophisticated, and hazards (human and natural) are becoming multi-layered and more complex.
Businesses often focus on one aspect of security, whether physical, digital or human, reducing their visibility on the complex and converged threat types. Security and risk teams need a deep understanding of how risks are blocking their organisation from meeting their objectives and how to seek out opportunities within those risks.
How can we help?
When assessing an organisation’s vulnerabilities and risks, aspects of security are often viewed in silos. This disjointed approach can result in missed vulnerabilities, risks and opportunities.
Our assessment approach addresses the following:
• Leadership and governance
• Threat and risk assessment
• Security culture
• People management
• Supplier management
• Information management
• Technology management
• Physical security
• Incident identification and response.
