Administrative Organization and process design

Robust risk management starts with a clear and well-designed administrative organization. Our Risk Consultants analyze how processes run, where responsibilities lie and whether the set-up matches the risks your organization faces. We test the effectiveness of key controls and help strengthen the first line.

Cloud Risk Assessment

Migration to the cloud brings new risks. Consider availability, data integrity and dependence on external suppliers. Our consultants conduct in-depth Cloud Risk Assessments, linking technical vulnerabilities to organizational impact. This results in informed choices for design, monitoring and governance.

"A Risk Consultant not only sees where things are chafing ,
but also understands why."

Data analysis

Data-driven work is essential to modern risk management. We use data analysis to provide objective insight into risks. Whether it's recognizing trends, identifying anomalies or substantiating audit findings. Our Risk Consultants have the tools and skills to translate data into insight and action.

Enterprise Risk Management

An integrated view of risk is crucial for sustainable decision-making. Our consultants help to set up and improve Enterprise Risk Management frameworks and their implementation or application. From risk appetite and scenario analysis to risk reporting to the Executive Board or Supervisory Board. We ensure that risk management does not remain an afterthought, but becomes part of the management.

ISAE 3402

For organizations seeking to professionally control outsourcing, ISAE 3402 is an important tool. Our consultants assist in setting up and maintaining the control framework necessary for a successful assurance engagement. We also support the preparation, documentation and coordination with the external auditor.

IT Risk

IT plays a central role in virtually every business operation. Our Risk Consultants map IT risks holistically, from systems access and data security to IT governance and lifecycle management. We make sure you understand not only the technology, but also the implications for the entire organization.

"Risk is rarely the problem. The lack of visibility into them is."

Ransomware Readiness Assessment

The threat of ransomware is more current than ever. Our experts assess how prepared your organization is for an attack. We do this with a Ransomware Readiness Assessment that focuses on prevention, detection, response capacity and recovery capability. The results provide direction for concrete improvement actions.

Operational Risk Management

Operational risks require pragmatic management. Our consultants help set up a systematic framework for Operational Risk Management. Think of incident registration, key risk indicators and linking pins with compliance or audit. This creates coherence and ownership in the line.

ORSA (Own Risk & Solvency Assessment).

For insurers, ORSA is a critical component of risk management. Our consultants support the substantiation of the ORSA process. This includes linking strategic goals to risk profiles, stress tests, control measures and impact on solvency.

Process Mining

More and more organizations are using Process Mining to gain actual insight into process flow and risk profiles. Our consultants use Process Mining to detect inefficiencies, omissions and control deviations. In doing so, we strengthen audits, as well as risk management and process optimization.

Exceptional Internal Control

Within the public sector, Enhanced Internal Control is an essential part of financial control. Our consultants help to set up, implement and improve VIC processes. In doing so, we ensure connection to planning and control and connection to external accountability requirements.

Risk Management Statement (VOR).

The VOR places robust requirements on risk controls within listed companies. Our Risk Consultants assist in gathering evidence, testing the design and operation of controls, and preparing the final statement. We also support dialogue with auditors or regulators.
