Risk Management

Risk Management is a vital part of maintaining any business today. Health and Safety, Fire Safety and First Aid at work legislation requires it but crime, data loss, disasters, terrorism are equally devastating if no planning has been done to deal with them. What kind of issues affect your Business, Markets or Credit ?

A few statistics which could include your organisation:

• Card-not-present fraud increased 21 per cent last year and cost banks 183.2m
• Second-hand phones purchased over the Internet surrendered credit card numbers, banking passwords, business secrets and even evidence of adultery.
• British Airways planes on the tarmac at Heathrow Airport. British Airways has said it cancelled 1,280 flights during last month's terror scare at a cost of 40 million (did that affect your business ?).
• ...took the official's family hostage while forcing him to rob the bank of about 300,000 euros.
• Employees are the biggest threat to corporate data security at companies that have access to consumers' personal data

Risk Management is not about trying to prevent every problem that may arise - it is about identifying and minimising risks which could impact on your operations. You will know the risks your organisation faces and will hopefully have conducted risk assessments to minimise them. You will also know that this is a time consuming task which needs to be done by people who have the ability to see a potential problem and identify a workable, cost-effective solution to it.

Risks to your organisation come not just from inside but outside too. Suppliers who cease trading, late deliveries which lose you customers, contractors who damage your equipment and buildings. All of these cost you time and money. Global businesses are reliant on many other businesses and organisations for the smooth running of their operations. Do you know how well prepared your 'suppliers' are ? Are your key personnel 'safe' while travelling abroad ? Is your data sufficiently protected ?
