The beginning of a new year is the time for resolutions, reflection, and recharging. All of this introspection allows us to see things with new eyes and get energized for the future. In the world of risk, this means taking an inventory of your risk program and making sure you are prepared for the year ahead.
At LogicGate, we get energized by seeing how Risk Cloud helps GRC professionals get proactive about their risk management programs, which in part means future proofing your business for what lies ahead. As we learned in 2020, risks can come from virtually anywhere. For 2021, there is a growing sense of the interconnectedness of risk. A seemingly distant disruption at a vendor, such as a bankruptcy or data breach, can ripple into your supply chain, operations, and customer experience that, in the end, can negatively impact your bottom line.
Interconnected Risks in 2021
Intertwined risks can start to be unfolded everywhere we look. Individuals are making a larger impact on government and industry regulations as their voices get amplified on social media. These amplifications are also influencing brand reputation and awareness, and new connections between types of risk are surfacing everywhere we look. Digital risks around big data are transforming the way we approach so many aspects of doing business. The scope of data risk is not limited to the loss of data, but now includes data integrity and the manipulation of data that spans across an enterprise.
New trends in digital risk also overlap with your vendors. Common third-party risk management tactics focus on the financial security of your suppliers, but third-party risk management deserves the same holistic lens to understand the interconnectedness of your vendors’ risks and yours. Having a more comprehensive program that includes your vendors’ environmental security, employee safety, data security and more can all be part of that future proofing plan.
