Insider Risk Prevention Programme
From isolated measures to comprehensive governance
Many organisations already have relevant measures spread across HR, IT, security, the legal function and management. The challenge is often that the information is not viewed as a whole, that responsibility is unclear, or that the measures are only activated once an incident is already developing.
We help bring this together in a comprehensive and practical programme for the prevention and management of insider risk. The programme is tailored to the organisation's assets, threat landscape, regulatory framework and existing management system.
We can assist with
- objectives, principles and a governance model for insider risk
- clear roles and responsibilities across specialist functions
- criteria for identifying and assessing concerns
- routines for sharing and collating relevant information
- risk-based management of access rights throughout the personnel lifecycle
- preventive measures for employees, suppliers and others with trusted access
- reporting channels, escalation and decision support
- metrics, evaluation and continuous improvement
A solution that safeguards both security and trust
A good programme should reduce risk without creating a culture characterised by surveillance or suspicion. We emphasise proportionality, privacy, clear communication and predictable processes. The aim is for employees to understand the expectations, know where they can ask for help and feel that it is safe to report mistakes and concerns.
The delivery can range from advice on individual processes to the development and implementation of a complete programme with training, exercises and periodic evaluation.
