RISK- AND VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENTS //

Exposing Weaknesses, Mitigating Risks—Strengthening Safety Every Step of the Way

We provide expert assistance to (public) organizations in facilitating and conducting comprehensive risk and vulnerability assessments. Our approach starts with a thorough understanding of your specific needs and objectives, ensuring that the assessment is tailored to your context.

We guide you through every step of the process, from planning and organisation to detailed risk and vulnerability analysis. We either assist you and your organisation to for guiding through the process  – or we can take point if needed. Using best practices and insights from frameworks across various standards, we ensure that our assessments provide a clear and actionable overview of your risk landscape.

In addition to conducting the assessment, we support you in developing effective mitigation strategies and contingency plans. Our goal is to empower your organization with the knowledge and tools needed to enhance resilience, manage risks proactively, and ensure robust preparedness for potential disruptions.

Organisational Risk Profile //

“Risk Assessment is the Key to Informed and Effective Contingency Planning”

Risk- and vulnerability assessment is a strategic tool to facilitate a systematic process used to identify, evaluate, and prioritise potential risks and vulnerabilities within the (public) organisation’s responsibilities and roles. The goal of the risk- and vulnerability assesment is to create an overview of the organisation’s operating area, in order to then both identify the risks that threaten the organisation combined with a vulnerability analysis. Based on that information, the organisation is better equipped to navigate the landscape and deploy targeted solutions to mitigate these risks.

NATIONAL RISK PROFILE //

“Expanding risk- and vulnerability assessments with Insights from the National Agency Risk Profile”

The National Risk Profile is a comprehensive document that provides an overview of the key risks and vulnerabilities facing a specific country. It is designed to support national preparedness and response planning by identifying and assessing various threats.

The profile covers a range of risks, including natural disasters, technological accidents, and other potential emergencies. It outlines the likelihood and potential impact of these risks, helping to inform both strategic planning and operational responses.

Our commitment in risk and vulnerability analyses extends to integrating the national risk profile into our services.
