This is precisely why risk assessment is a key component to business continuity planning and management. Risk assessment is an evaluation process that systematically tracks and analyzes what potential hazards exist, whether throughout the year or during certain periods. Once these are understood, the next phase of the process is putting together the steps that mitigate said risks.

KETCHConsulting specializes in risk assessment consulting. The KETCHConsulting team of recovery experts examines what prime factors can lead to various worst-case scenarios – be they environmental, social or technological – and how these unpredictabilities can be effectively mitigated. These risks are qualified and quantified down to the letter and number, using both logistics and statistics. For example, through KETCHConsulting’s statistical risk assessment, business continuity managers can learn how probable it is that an event will come to fruition. Additionally, these threat assessments are comprehensive, including workplace violence, sexual harassment and determining what measures are in place to ensure compliance.
