Risk in its many forms is a part of business and we have come to see a number of large corporations collapse with devastating effects due to a lack of risk prevention strategies or at least risk response methods or crisis management combined with contingency planning.  Security and Risk management seldom has “one glove fits all” and therefore, we take exceptional care in acknowledging that each of our clients are unique and thus, have a complete different set of requirements and demands.  To accomplish this, our security consultancy and risk management team remain up to date with the latest risk mitigating methods to adapt and shape a specific product.  For this we complete the following stages:

 

· To find how effective our clients risk management is, it is about identifying and evaluating fundamental risks, and having the confidence that existing controls and insurance implemented to monitor, reduce and manage risks to provide maximum return and prevent shocks.

· From the profile we design an effective risk management strategy to strengthen policy and procedures, internal processes and measures.

· The risk management strategy is implemented, evaluated and tested to improve any areas that require additional input to ensure the desired results are achieved.  We typically will review and audit areas such as polices, standards and procedures, programme objectives, management responsibility and acceptance, financial asset controls, records and reports etc.  We also provide for risk management outsourcing.

 

Areas covered are:

 

· Regulatory compliance

· Physical Asset protection

Crisis Management

 

Crisis Management is an essential component of any corporate management process.  We provide expert assistance in all phases of the design, monitoring and execution of existing procedures to confront criminal or other acts capable of bringing harm to the company’s operations or employees.

Our crisis response plans include input from each individual client, strategies to monitor and execute guidelines and procedures to deal with potential harm, but also to heighten business contingency for recovery and lessen “down time”.   Our collective expertise enables us to provide strategies to deal with the following:

 

· Incident management and reporting

· Product attack or sabotage

· Fraud and internal theft incidents

· Supply chain contingency and other critical incident prevention

· Illegal detention and emergency response plans

· Disaster recovery and contingency management

· Executive and family protection

· Workplace violence

· Bomb threats

· International “Hot Spot” travel

· Natural disasters

 

 

As part of the process we complete the following steps in conjunction with any risk management implementation:

 

· Planning – the development of customised plans, including clear definitions of roles and responsibilities, to mitigate the negative impact on all aspects of the business

· Pre-Incident – a review is conducted, including safety trends, crisis simulation exercises and tests of policies and procedures, as well as providing vulnerability assessments and implement mitigation strategies

· Incident-Response– we provide on-site incident management teams that remain until the incident is resolved and for stability to return to the business environment.

 

With our extensive experience in preparing our clients to respond effectively to emergency incidents we apply the best possible techniques designed to cope with a crisis situation, while simultaneously attempting to have our client returned to full operational status in the quickest possible time.
