Risk/Threat Analysis

Client Need Summary:

Businesses are exposed to man-made, natural and infrastructure risks on a regular basis. The probability and impact of these risks occurring can range from low to high. Historical data can provide statistics on the frequency and severity of weather events, transportation disruptions or public utility outages. If an identified risk is a high-probability occurrence at a primary facility, it may also affect a company's alternate sites.

Approach:

The risk/threat analysis reduces the level of risk within an organization using the following activities:

• Identification of man-made risks with a medium-to-high occurrence probability.
• Identification of natural risks with a medium-to-high occurrence probability.
• Identification of infrastructure risks with a medium-to-high occurrence probability.
• Quantification of the impact from the above risks.
• Determination of the potential impact to other production/alternate sites from an occurrence at the primary production site.
• Presentation of the analysis findings, accompanied by a list of proactive recommendations designed to reduce the risk experienced by the corporation.

The Solution:

Upon completion of this risk/threat analysis, a company will gain a thorough understanding of the potential risks and exposures facing its primary production facility. Critical decisions can be made to further harden the facility from the risk mitigation recommendations that are generated. This information can also be used to evaluate acceptable geographic locations for alternate or back-up sites.
