INSIDER RISK CONSULTANCY
Give insider risk a clear owner and a practical plan.
We help you build or improve your Insider Risk Management Programme (IRMP): how your organisation recognises insider risk, brings the right people together and decides what to do. Turn policies and responsibilities into arrangements your teams can use.
DESIGNED TO HELP YOU
01
Clear ownership of insider risk.
02
Faster coordination across the teams involved.
03
A clear plan for addressing gaps and weaknesses.
WHAT AN IRMP IS
A coordinated way to manage the risk that comes with trusted access.
An insider risk management programme brings together the people, policies and reporting routes needed to manage insider risk. It establishes who owns the risk, how concerns are assessed and what happens next.
Security, HR, legal, risk and operations each contribute to that approach. The programme also helps people understand their responsibilities, report concerns confidently and see that those concerns receive appropriate attention.
HOW IT FITS YOUR SECURITY PROGRAMME
A focused capability within your wider security approach.
An IRMP connects the teams responsible for trusted access within your organisation’s wider security arrangements.
YOUR BROADER SECURITY PROGRAMME
Protect the organisation across a broad range of threats.
Establish the overall security strategy and controls.
Coordinate physical, information, cyber and personnel security.
Manage security responsibilities, incidents and assurance.
YOUR IRMP
Coordinate the response to risks involving trusted access.
Connect concerns, events and relevant organisational context.
Agree assessment, escalation and decisions across functions.
Sustain awareness, trusted reporting and programme review.
Why it is needed
A manager may know about a concern while security holds a related event and another team sees a process weakness. An IRMP gives that information an appropriate route to a coordinated decision, reducing the risk of delays, repeated losses or concerns falling between teams.
HOW WE CAN SUPPORT YOU
A practical foundation. A clear direction.
01
Programme development
Set the programme’s purpose, priorities and structure around the information, assets and services you need to protect.
02
Ownership and governance
Identify who sponsors the programme, assesses concerns, authorises action and reviews progress.
03
Policy and reporting alignment
Connect reporting routes and programme arrangements with existing policies. Make it clear how information reaches the right people and how action is recorded.
04
Leadership and executive support
Help leaders examine risk priorities, resolve gaps in responsibility and review progress through workshops and scheduled advice.
05
Review and improvement
Review how awareness, reporting and decisions work in practice, then identify the improvements to prioritise.
THE VALUE TO YOUR BUSINESS
Stronger coordination when the consequences matter.
Agreed assessment and escalation routes help teams act sooner when sensitive information, funds or service continuity may be at risk.
An engagement can address a specific gap in reporting or governance, or help you develop the wider programme around your existing arrangements.
You can commission consultancy independently or connect it to training and ongoing IntaaS support.
SUPPORTING YOUR ASSURANCE
Documented responsibilities, review arrangements and decisions can support oversight of internal controls. Where the UK Corporate Governance Code applies, they can contribute relevant information to the organisation’s wider review of its risk management and controls.
