Assess your risk
In today's dynamic business landscape, effective human risk management is integral to an organisation's success. Our consulting company specialises in this domain, offering tailored solutions to assess and mitigate risks associated with human behaviour. Through meticulous identification, evaluation, and strategic mitigation, we uncover vulnerabilities and develop frameworks to safeguard against insider threats, human error, and evolving social engineering tactics. Our seasoned experts leverage cutting-edge tools and industry best practices to ensure your organisation is fortified against human-related challenges.
Design your plan to reduce human cyber risk
Designing a comprehensive plan to identify and address a client's human risk management challenges and opportunities is a multifaceted endeavor. It begins with a meticulous analysis of the client's organisational structure, culture, and current risk management protocols. This process allows us to pinpoint areas of vulnerability, whether they stem from behavioral risks, competency gaps, or cultural dynamics. Once identified, we work in tandem with you to develop tailored mitigation strategies, incorporating elements such as targeted training programs, robust access controls, and proactive monitoring systems. Additionally, we seize the opportunity to enhance your organisational culture, fostering a climate of accountability and transparency. By aligning our expertise with your specific needs, we pave the way for a resilient, risk-aware organisation poised for sustained growth and success.
Implement the best technology and processes
We partner with Keepnet to ensure a pivotal step towards fortifying your organisation's cybersecurity posture. Keepnet offers a suite of advanced tools and technologies designed to combat a wide spectrum of cyber threats. From phishing simulations and awareness training to threat intelligence and secure communication channels, their comprehensive offerings empower organisations to proactively defend against evolving cyber risks. By integrating Keepnet with our processes and strategy, you're not only safeguarding sensitive information but also instilling a culture of cyber resilience within your team.
Embed user adoption and behaviour certainty
Managed services for changing user behavior in the realm of human risk management are a strategic investment in bolstering an organisation's security posture. These services offer a proactive approach to addressing the human element, which is often the weakest link in cyber threat management. By leveraging expert guidance, tailored training programs, and real-time monitoring, organisations can effectively mitigate risks associated with employee behaviour, reducing the likelihood of insider threats, human error, and falling victim to social engineering tactics. Our holistic approach not only strengthens the organisation's defence against evolving cyber threats but also fosters a culture of heightened security awareness.
Re-baseline, adapt and manage
Establishing ongoing baselines and measurement frameworks is paramount in ensuring the success and efficacy of human risk management projects. This entails the continuous monitoring and assessment of key performance indicators (KPIs) related to human behaviour, compliance, and incident response. By tracking and analysing these metrics over time, organisations gain valuable insights into the effectiveness of their risk management strategies. This iterative process allows for timely adjustments and refinements, ensuring that the approach remains adaptive and aligned with the evolving landscape of human-related risks.
Our approach to human risk management
Identification of Risks
Behavioural Risks: This includes factors like unethical behaviour, non-compliance with policies, negligence, and conflict of interest.
Competency Risks: These arise when employees lack the necessary skills, knowledge, or experience to perform their roles effectively.
Cultural Risks: Problems related to organisational culture, such as a lack of diversity and inclusion, or a toxic work environment.
Physical Risks: These involve issues like workplace safety, accidents, and health-related risks.
Technological Risks: When employees misuse or mishandle technology, leading to data breaches, system failures, or other IT-related problems.
Risk Assessment
Likelihood and Impact: Evaluate the likelihood of a risk occurring and the potential impact it could have on the organisation. High-impact, high-likelihood risks require more attention.
Vulnerability Analysis: Understand the vulnerabilities that could be exploited to cause harm or disruption.
Historical Data and Trends: Analyse past incidents to identify recurring patterns or areas of concern.
Risk Quantification
Assign numerical values or scales to risks to facilitate comparison and prioritisation.
This might involve using tools like risk matrices to categorise risks based on severity and likelihood.
Risk Mitigation
Preventative Measures: Implement strategies to reduce the likelihood of risks occurring. For example, training programs, background checks, and implementing security protocols.
Detective Measures: Establish mechanisms to identify and respond to risks in real-time or as they occur. This could involve monitoring systems, reporting mechanisms, and regular audits.
Corrective Measures: Develop plans for addressing and rectifying risks if they do materialise. This might include incident response plans, crisis communication strategies, and disciplinary procedures.
Compliance and Governance
Ensure that all risk management practices are in line with legal and regulatory requirements. This involves keeping abreast of industry-specific laws and standards.
Continuous Monitoring and Review
Regularly review and update risk assessments, as the business environment and internal dynamics can change over time.
Stay informed about emerging risks and trends in human behaviour that might affect the organisation.
Employee Training and Development
Provide ongoing training to staff regarding compliance, ethics, security, and other pertinent topics.
Encourage a culture of responsibility and accountability.
Reporting and Communication
Establish clear channels for reporting potential risks or incidents. This encourages open communication and enables timely responses.
Feedback Loops
Encourage feedback from employees, customers, and other stakeholders to identify potential risks or areas for improvement.
Documentation and Record-Keeping
Maintain thorough records of risk assessments, mitigation strategies, and incident responses. This helps in accountability and learning from past experiences.
Crisis Management and Response
Have a well-defined plan in place for managing crises and responding to emergencies.
Culture of Accountability and Responsibility
Foster a culture where all employees understand their role in risk management and take ownership of their actions.
