Identifying Operational Risks relies upon understanding the business end to end processes to ensure that risk assessments and control decisions are taken from an operational point of view. This minimizes risks, maximizes compliance and optimizes business performance.
We establish a complete set of needed descriptions of how the business conducts its work, where operational risks occur, and how and where they are mitigated through controls or the development of alternate ways to close control gaps.
We will model risks, controls and processes into a holistic framework that can be applied for Risk Management and can be extended through-out the organization to support process improvement and governance.
Our team delivers an integrated set of related models by applying industry best practices in a collaborative manner while accommodating (and improving where needed) your documentation and sustainment standards.
