As a Chief Risk Officer, it is your job to understand, manage and mitigate the range of risks your organization faces. When it comes to operational risk, the increasingly complex and hostile digital environment is a serious cause for concern. You have to ensure operational resilience and regulatory compliance while your organization is likely embarked on a digital transformation, requiring you to mitigate the risks that such a major change entails.

Challenges to risk mitigation

The complexity of your organization can be a major obstacle in getting the insights needed to manage operational risk. Financial, reputational and regulatory risks are difficult to evaluate and even more difficult to mitigate. Cyber security, technology lifecycle and the increasing dependence on external services are a constant headache and add more complexity to the picture. So, how can you assess the potential ripple effects of an apparently local problem? How can you, as Chief Risk Officer, prioritize issues or optimally allocate budgets for risk mitigation?
