Risk identification
This involves identifying potential risks to an organization’s compliance, such as regulatory changes, employee misconduct, or cybersecurity threats.
Risk assessment
This involves evaluating the potential impact of each identified risk, based on factors such as the likelihood of occurrence and the potential harm that could result.
Risk prioritization
This involves ranking risks in order of their likelihood and also the potential impact, to pick the most significant ones first.
Risk mitigation
This involves taking steps to reduce or eliminate the identified risks, such as implementing new policies or procedures, providing training to employees, or investing in new technology or security measures.
Risk monitoring
This involves ongoing monitoring of the risks and the effectiveness of the risk mitigation measures, so that any necessary adjustments can be made.
By effectively managing compliance risks, organizations can reduce the likelihood of legal or financial penalties, protect their reputation, and demonstrate their commitment to ethical and responsible business practices.
