Risk Consulting: Background Checks, Security Vulnerability Assessments

Every corporate executive knows that risk is the corollary of reward. Without one, the other is unattainable. However unanticipated risk is the wild card that can destroy an organization’s objectives, indeed, it can threaten its very existence.

The current risk situation facing companies in an international context as well as within the borders of the United States is filled with uncertainties, from physical and informational security issues, to regulatory and legal threats.

Risk consulting and management organizations throughout the world recognize the following best practices and guidelines for its members:

• Risk identification and assessment, including development of risk registers, risk mapping and threat assessments along with both quantitative and qualitative analysis of exposures;
  
• Risk mitigation strategies, involving the development of lines of attacking the risks that have been identified within the priorities that have been established;
  
• Residual risk transfer, which means the management of residual risk through a combination of insurance, hedging and other alternative techniques;
  
• Risk reporting, which is the establishment of processes of reporting on risks;
  
• Monitoring, designed to ensure adherence to and the effectiveness and relevance of policies and procedures relating to risk management and security risk assessments.
