Should I really be concerned about managing my operational risk?

Operating a business in the current climate is an increasingly complex and time-intensive job. There are many factors to consider, and overlooking even one has the potential to spell disaster.

Operational risk management helps businesses:

• Stay secure on both an enterprise and local level

• Monitor and manage the consequences of change in risk levels

• Understand the business impact of risks and prepare contingency plans to reduce the impact of an event should one occur

• Respond to events that may have an impact on business

• Resource and manage security operations

Benefits include:

• Improved security and certainty across business operations

• Providing a strong foundation for the decision-making process when risks are involved

• A reduction in losses resulting from risks improperly identified
