Risk Assessment
Risk Assessments or Risk Analysis is the process of identifying areas of potential & actual loss and the appropriate development of cost effective countermeasures to nullify the identifiable risks/losses found.
Contained within the approach to any assessment is the concept of security being a comprehensive integrated function positively contributing significantly to a Company’s financial aims and objectives.
The fundamental aim of any risk assessment is the protection of people, facilities, equipment and other assets against reasonably anticipated threats through the unobtrusive utilization of cost effective security, policies and procedures.
Every business and/or industry has it’s own individual exposures to a variety of risks, threats and losses.
In the case of loss, there are two identifiable & distinctive types;
Direct and Indirect.
· Direct losses are more easily identified as being Theft, Fraud, Burglary, Contractual Loss etc….
· Indirect losses are harder to detect e.g. loss of potential custom, negative staff motivation, disgruntled employees, high staff turnover, bullying, lack of goodwill and loyalty from workforce etc….
These exposures could be easily identified and determined through the independent observations of an Experienced Security Consultant reviewing and reporting the situation, advising the Client where they are most vulnerable to risks, threats and losses.

THE BEST AVAILABLE RECOMMENDED COURSE OF ACTION FOR THE CLIENT TO TAKE
By assessing the impact of the Risk against the costs of elimination we are able determine and recommend to the Client the best course of preventative & counteractive actions and measures to take.
Risk x The Severity of Impact + Probability of Re-Occurrence ¸
The Cost of Eliminating & Nullifying Future Risk = Peace of Mind
By employing our Consultants acting as independent observers they can identify any risks that may be present or pending, and through their impartial approach can recommend to Clients the most cost effective means to rectify and reduce and/or eliminate any risks found, giving the Client an awareness along with the rational means to control and nullify any future risks within their business or private lives.
