Most successful companies recognize that security and risk are both a part of doing business. Organizations are exposed to significant threats today. How big of a problem is this? Download our free Corporate Espionage Brief and find out. By taking a strategic approach to security and risk management, companies can move to an enterprise wide program that is fully integrated into the existing silos within various businesses. With the proper strategy and resources you can manage security and risk in a way that can produce a positive outcome. Enterprise Security & Risk Management (ESRM) represents a fundamental shift in the way businesses are approaching security and risk.

FACT: Each year more people are killed or injured at work than in road accidents.

The changing face of security and risk management has businesses, government and other executives struggling with how best to manage risk at the enterprise level. ESRM is a topic on the minds of most progressive executives. ESRM is founded on the principal that an organization must create an enterprise strategy that addresses security and risk. Technolytics has created a framework methodology that is uniquely suited for this type of strategy development. Our approach to Enterprise Security and Risk Strategic Development is identified below.

Our approach as defined above evaluates risks in four areas. Internal risks, external risks, physical risks and virtual risks. Coupling these four categories of risks with our ASCERTAIN and PROMISE methodologies, we have created what is referred to as the organizational risk envelope. It is critical to approach enterprise security & risk strategies from this perspective. Failure to properly define the risk envelope will expose the organization to risks that have not been evaluated, planned for and managed.

Many organizations focus solely on external threats, but not all threats are external. A new report by one intelligence unit suggests that nearly 50% of corporate security issues are internal. Most security professional believe that disgruntled employees are more likely to launch a deliberate attack on the company than any other entity. Competition is an external risk that has, in recent years, increased intelligence gathering activities against their rivals. Theft of Intellectual Property now costs U.S. Businesses over $100 billion annually.

A recent study found that although 71% of companies conduct a risk analysis of their security environment once a year or more, 32% do not know the cost of security breaches nor how to measure security and what the appropriate security investment should be. How do you stack up against your peers? Many organizations find security and risk management benchmarking next to impossible. Critical to the successful management of risks and security is intelligence.

Do you know all you need to know to control risks? How at risk are you when your executives and other employees travel? The odds are against you at home or abroad when your picture of reality is incomplete. Intelligence collection and analysis are all but absent in the vast majority of organizations today.

Technolytics has compiled meaningful intelligence and benchmarks that we use with our Security & Risk Scorecard to address these issues. This tool allows management to graphically represent the current state of security and risk at the enterprise level. This type of representation is key when communicating with senior executives through the Board of Directors.

The relationship between economic globalization, terrorism, and security has become critically important to executives in almost every organization. This criticality has created a significant amount of visibility and focus on enterprise wide security and risk management. Company boards are increasingly liable for security breaches. The importance of security and intelligence has grown so substantially it has risen to the board of directors’ level in nearly 20% of organizations. New regulations have made board-level executives accountable for taking appropriate security measures that protect the assets of an organization. Boards need to lead on security from the top, setting priorities and driving cultural change against a coherent business plan. In order to meet their obligations, senior most executives must understand the costs of the different types of business risks. Today, the top five security threats to organizations are: terrorism, organized crime, espionage, theft of intellectual property and workplace violence. Strategies must be developed to address each one of these threats. The strategies must be tightly coupled to ongoing intelligence collection, analysis and distribution. Over the past few years corporate, economic and industrial espionage activities have doubled. Theft of intellectual property in the United States has exceeded $100 billion annually. Workplace violence has risen sharply, and security is now a key part of compliance
