Operational Risk Management
Operational risk is a by-product of daily business activities. Left unmanaged, it can hurt productivity and lead to business interruption. Streamline and automate processes for managing risks that impact your organisation’s operations.
More context into operational risk drives better decisions
Operational risks to business might come from any number of places – accidental human error, supply chain disruptions, IT system failure, and more – but they are inherent to every organisation. Operational risk management is top of mind for risk professionals, due to trends of increasing government oversight and heightened expectations of accountability, in addition to the ongoing impact of the pandemic.
Operational risk is dynamic. Contextual information and multiple datapoints are needed to identify and respond to this type of risk. Unfortunately, traditional risk management methods can only manage one or two areas of risk, such as cybersecurity, but lack inputs and outputs with other relevant areas – such as informing the learning and development department to train employees on security procedures. Managing operational risks requires an integrated approach.
Identify, analyse, evaluate, and control risks with periodic risk assessments.
Map risks to controls, processes, compliance mandates, and business objectives.
Manage risks and track exceptions with a central risk register.
Monitor KPIs and KRIs and link them to performance metrics.
Monitor ongoing risk using real-time data and automated notifications.
Manage the incident lifecycle and take corrective action.
