Our Experience
We have extensive experience assisting organisations of varying maturity to identify and manage risk at all levels.
We strive to ensure organisations are equipped with the right information to make informed decisions with regard to risk.
We support our clients to assess the level of maturity in their organisation, undertake effective and efficient risk assessments and develop risk frameworks.
We work collaboratively with clients to forensically examine their risk management approach, map current and emerging risks, develop heat maps and identify appropriate mitigation strategies.
Skills and expertise
Our Advisors have acted for many government agencies and large organisations to consider risk across their business and industries.
We have advised on all areas of risk management, including providing practical training and advice on risk.
We have particular expertise in risk in an Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and cybersecurity context, having advised on major ICT procurements and programs for government.
