Risk management is the process for identifying, analyzing, and communicating risk and accepting, avoiding, transferring, or controlling it to an acceptable level considering associated costs and benefits of any actions taken.
ISN works closely with our clients to understand our client’s security risk profile and risk appetite. We then use industry best practices and subject matter experts to establish and implement a security risk management plan. These plans can include, creating a robust enterprise security management system, conducting threat, risk and vulnerability assessments, training employees on how they each play a role in minimizing the organization’s risk profile or conducting detailed investigations on security breaches or employee misconduct.
The ISN Risk Management consultants work closely with our clients, providing a dedicated approach focused on helping protect their enterprise concerns. We provide hands-on expertise in key areas, including:
An ISN Threat and Risk Assessment (TRA) provides the foundation for a robust security management program. Our TRAs focus on risks and vulnerabilities that can impact an organization in terms of business outcomes, as well as the safety and security of employees and assets.
ISN’s risk management experts assist our clients in forecasting and mitigating threats and risks through reviews, incident management and security due diligence. We provide TRAs for numerous clients both domestically and internationally with a team of subject matter experts utilizing internationally recognized methodologies which provides the breadth and depth of experience to do a thorough assessment. Our TRAs provide actionable safeguards that anticipate and counter potential threats.
The ISN Threat and Risk Assessment is designed to provide the following:
-
Identify threats to the facility and its assets;
-
Assess the risks associated with threats in terms of likelihood (probability), impact, vulnerability and consequences; and,
-
Make recommendations to avoid, reduce, spread, transfer or accept the impact(s) should the threat(s) be carried out.
Once the TRA is completed, ISN works closely with our clients to develop appropriate security and emergency response plans including staff training and policy implementation.
ISN’s risk management experts are also regularly called upon by our clients to consult in cases of potential workplace violence and volatile domestic situations. Threat assessment can be applied to verbal or written threats or other types of menacing behavior. Risk assessment in these situations evaluates psychological, behavioural and situational factors to determine the probability of violence, thus allowing our clients to take the appropriate action to protect themselves, their family or employees.
