Risk Management
In the modern day, host organisations face risk that can affect operational efficiency and regulatory compliance. Simple awareness is not enough to stay ahead of these risks.
Maravi finds ways to manage, mitigate, accept or transfer these risks.
1. Objective Setting
Assess your business objectives. Management must first establish the company’s mission and success metrics to ensure that those objectives align with the decided risk appetite.
2. Risk Assessment
This systematic step-by-step process involves risk identification, evaluation and prioritisation. It determines the impact of each risk and allaying current security controls.
3. Risk Response
Once potential risks have been established responses are aligned to the organisations objective. A strategy to avoid, accept, reduce, or share for each significant risk is chosen.
4. Internal Business Environment
The managerial skills of your leaders will drive a healthy risk-aware culture and assure that critical risks are never overlooked
5. Event Identification
Determining risk tolerance. Reviewing events that can prevent the organisation reaching its goals. Whether internal or external, all events must be classified as either opportunities or risks and then aligned to the overarching business strategy.
6. Control Activities
The risk response and event identification processes require the creation of robust controls: policies, procedures, roles, responsibilities, and other “checks and balances” to implement the quick and effective responses.
7. Information and Communication
Employee training and education about risks will improve awareness beyond your leadership and compliance teams. Involving your employees in this process will help them make decisions that will reduce the organisation’s risk exposure.
8. Monitoring
Risk management must be continuously monitored to stay on top of the evolving risk landscape through internal audits, external audits, and as a part of ongoing management activities.
