Business Risk Management & Continuity
Stand up a practical risk program that protects execution: staffing and skills coverage, vendor/contract risk, and continuity practices tightly integrated with cybersecurity and BCDR.
Business outcomes
- Shared view of priority risks and owners
- Risk‑aware planning that protects delivery commitments
- Fewer surprises via KRIs and review cadence
Process overview
- Identify strategic and operational risks; build a right‑sized risk register
- Define KRIs and reporting rhythm; align to objectives
- Assess staffing/skills coverage; plan cross‑training and succession
- Review vendor/contract risks (terms, concentration, obligations) and set guardrails
- Align with cybersecurity and BCDR plans; test assumptions
What we’ll do
- Draft risk register with scoring and ownership
- Map KRIs to available data and simple dashboards
- Create coverage plans for key roles (cross‑training, succession triggers)
- Review key contracts for red flag terms (e.g., unlimited consequential damages) and concentration risk; set standards and checklists
- Tie risk actions to incident/BCDR playbooks; run a brief tabletop
Team roles
- Sponsor/COO (or equivalent), Ops lead, HR/People, Finance/Legal, IT/Sec
- Owners for key vendors/contracts
Timeline & format
- Kickoff & inventory → workshops by risk domain → publish register & cadence
- Quarterly reviews and targeted tabletops where helpful
Handover & sustainment
- Risk register and owner map
- KRI set with review cadence
- Coverage & succession actions for critical roles
- Vendor/contract standards and intake checklist
- Continuity linkage to cyber/BCDR with update routine
