Risk Management
Planning for Success
Success in the field of risk management, like the game of chess, demands intelligence, experience, and strategy. Just as playing chess without a plan is ill advised, so it is with risk management, where contingency planning not only ensures the continuity of business during times of crisis, it also saves organizations time, money, and credibility.
At Western Protection Alliance, we approach risk management in the same way that a chess master approaches the game of chess. Treating our clients as Kings, we’re committed to protecting their interests at all times, drawing on over 14 years of industry expertise to deliver high quality, end-to-end security planning and implementation.
The Importance Of Being Prepared
Theft, natural disaster, workplace violence, data loss, terrorism… The risks that today’s businesses face, both internally and externally, have grown increasingly complex, making it tougher than ever to protect your investment in people, infrastructure, inventory and information. Without proper preparation, you could be needlessly putting your business at risk of grievous consequences – consequences that could easily be avoided with the help of our skilled team of risk management professionals.
Investing In Risk Management
Though security expenditures are not considered an investment in the traditional sense, they do nonetheless generate a solid return by preventing situations that could otherwise cost your company time, money, and credibility. By assessing threat, vulnerability and consequence, our skilled risk managers will integrate enterprise risk management with corporate security measures to reduce your overall level of threat, lessening the likelihood of expensive problems like theft, vandalism, injuries, and worse.
Determining The Best Security Tools
Though many businesses realize they need extra protection in the form of guards, access control, and surveillance, very few know precisely which combination of security measures will best address their specific needs. Generic, pre-formatted packages – like those offered by most security companies – rarely fit these needs. That’s why we will conduct a thorough risk analysis and vulnerability assessment for your company that will enable us to custom tailor your optimal security solution within your given budget.
Eliminating Moving Targets
As the most valuable and attractive targets become effectively hardened against threats through proper security, criminals will often turn to softer, more accessible secondary targets. This possibility places a premium on the importance of accurate intelligence with regard to potential threats. At Western Protection Alliance, our professional risk analysis includes a vulnerability assessment that effectively pinpoints all system weakness, preempting the likelihood of moving targets.
Thwarting The Enemy Within
According to a U.S. Chamber of Commerce study, employees are fifteen times more likely to steal from their employers than its customers are. Though some threats such as fraud, inventory shrinkage, and no sales transactions are easily identifiable, others are less readily apparent and therefore more difficult to address. By conducting a thorough vulnerability analysis, our trained risk assessment professionals can bring these problems to light and present realistic solutions, using intelligence first and then technology.
Securing A Competitive Advantage
Studies have shown that the risk of business interruption is greater for smaller companies because relatively few of them have established off-site emergency operations centers (only 21% compared to 40% of larger companies). This finding suggests that many smaller companies would have difficulty conducting their business in the event of a prolonged outage or closure at their primary facility. Given the vital role that these smaller, mid-market companies play in the economy, the ripple effect caused by a disruption to their operations could be quite severe. In light of this, standards imposed by major corporations (rather than those imposed by the government) may become the single biggest incentive for smaller companies to upgrade their security operations in the future.
