In our chat, Rocco shares his vast experience in assisting companies to safely, and with due regard to the environment, retire or on sell end of life computer and network equipment.As you'll hear, the biggest challenge is not the physical equipment, but rather ensuring that all company confidential or sensitive data is removed from the devices and unable to be retrieved.Listen for his observation on where data sometimes turns up - where you'd least expect it!It is also great to hear that Rocc...

Welcome back to the first podcast interview for 2024!In this podcast, I chat with Alex Bovee, CEO of ConductorOne, a firm dedicated to modernising how organisations manage access to their vital systems and data.In my experience, most organisations struggle with getting their access controls right - trying to navigate the fine line between being too restrictive and impacting business efficiency and too open and putting systems and data at risk.Alex shares his insights into the problem and how ...

In this discussion, Anthony Wilson and Brett Palmer discuss what good reporting looks like for Executives and Directors of organisations.Clearly there are regulatory requirements that Senior Management and Boards must meet and that must be supported by robust Risk Management reporting. The trick is always getting the balance right - too much detail is just as bad as too little.When reporting to these groups, materiality is key - the Board and the Executive need to be hearing about the Materia...

In this podcast chat, Anthony Wilson and Brett Palmer talk about the critical link between Risk Management and Corporate Governance.In short, to be an effective and sustainable organisation, one can't exist without the other. And this applies whether it's a Private, Public, Not-For-Profit or Government entity.Firstly, Risk Management needs the imprimatur and indeed mandate of the Board - clearly articulating to Management and the organisation as a whole, its expectations in this regard.Second...

A must listen episode for all Senior Executives and Directors!In this discussion, Tim Weiss describes the challenges (and solutions) that organisations are facing in respect to Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) requirements that are becoming even more 'front and centre' in the list of priorities.ESG represents a classic risk - with both threats and opportunities for organisations that take the time to do a thorough and appropriate risk assessment.One of the big challenges for organ...

In this episode, Brett and I discuss the Risk Management Gap Analysis - what it is, how you go about it, what are the key focus areas and why all organisations need to do it periodically.The key takeaway is that this is not putting a specific risk under the microscope but actually reviewing the Risk Management Program itself and comparing how its performing compared to the ambitions you set for the program.If you aren't achieving all you were hoping to out of your Risk Management Program, thi...

This episode features a fascinating chat with Darren Gallop, CEO and co-founder of Carbide.

This episode of the Mastering Risk Management Podcast Chats addresses a common misunderstanding we see when talking to organisations that have reached the stage of making a decision as a result of their risk analysis / evaluation.Do we accept the risk, treat the risk, transfer the risk or not proceed with the activity that could see the risk eventuate (i.e. reject the risk)?One of the issues we commonly see if the misconception that for risk management to be deemed successful, every risk has ...

All the cybersecurity challenges getting you down? Struggling to understand the threat much less what you can do about it?In this podcast with Patrick and Duane, you'll hear about cybersecurity with a refreshing use of plain-English and a dash of humour thrown in!

In this episode, Anthony and Brett discuss how to manage risk in projects - be they big or small!Regardless of size, projects or programs have some very similar 'core' risks - making them ideal for using historical project performance to inform the risk identification process of the new project.We discuss the key elements organisations need to consider when managing project risk, whether the organisation is a frequent executor or projects or whether they only arise periodically.We hope this e...

This would have to be one of the most fascinating conversations to date in the Mastering Risk Management podcast!Alan usually gives interviews to the likes of CNN, the BBC and Al Jazeera so to get him on the podcast is a real win for our listeners.

AI is a defining moment in our history and to not be a part of it risks ...

In this episode of the podcast chats, Anthony and Brett discuss the link between a risk management and insurance. Whilst having a robust risk management program is about more than just saving money (achieving the business objectives anyone?), when it comes to securing the right insurance at the best value, it adds significant value.Listen to the episode to hear how!As always, we appreciate your feedback and suggestions for guests to interview or subjects to discuss in the podcast chats.&...

We discuss how failing to manage systems access is one of the fundamental mistakes organisations can make yet is one of the easiest to fix.Garret challenges us to reflect on our or...

In today's chat, Brett and I discuss the importance of controls in risk management - and specifically, critical controls.These are the controls that if missing or ineffective, will almost certainly lead to the risk eventuating, or if a mitigating control, the consequences being worse than they needed to be.Key to having a great control environment is providing assurance that the controls are in place and effective - for some critical controls, such as the Business Resilience arrangements for ...

We hear about it happening all the time. An organisation that seems to have a robust approach to protecting its systems and data is compromised by cyber criminals using a third-party vendor as the attack vector.My guest on this episode is Paul Valente, CEO and co-founder of VISO Trust, an AI powered third party risk platform that aids IT Security teams access risk intelligence on an organisations third party vendors.Paul is well qualified to speak on the subject - he holds multiple industry d...

In this chat, Brett and Anthony discuss the sometimes-confusing topic of Risk Management Frameworks. They have seen organisations where the RMF is a single document of hundreds of pages - so big in fact that it is practically useless to employees looking for guidance.The ABM Risk approach to RMF's is different - pragmatic, practical and importantly, bespoke to the needs of the organisation.You also hear, if you didn't already know, that paper and PDF based RMF's are history.Enjoy the chat!Con...

There has been a lot of talk lately on the best approach to mitigating the risk of cyber-attack - including on this podcast. My guest in this episode has a very different take on how best to defend an organisation from this incessant risk.Having recently published his first monograph, Dr Patrick Scolyer-Gray’s career has been devoted primarily to the design, development and implementation of Human-Centric Cybersecurity (HCCS), a methodological framework that extends and improves upon the conv...

Alex is often referred to as 'the most controversial person in risk management' due to his outspoken and unwavering views on what risk management is and isn't. My aim in creating this pod...

One of the most frequently asked questions we get is where should the organisation's risk resource report? The answer, like most things related to risk management, is that there isn't a 'one size fits all' answer.Reporting lines for risk really need to be bespoke to the organisation, its culture, the maturity of its risk function and a myriad of other factors - listen to the episode for more detail.We also touch on some of the challenges organisations have in resourcing the risk function and ...

As you'll hear in this chat, Brett and Anthony dispel the myth that risk management is all about negatives or things that can threaten the organisation's future.Indeed, if that is the approach of your risk function, then they are only doing half the job!Risk management, done well, is about enabling the organisation to take more, smart risks. In fact, if organisations don't take risks, they will quickly cease to exist or become irrelevant in their industry.We'll talk about the techniques we us...

In this episode, Brett and Anthony start at the beginning and discuss what risk management is (and isn't) and why its so important for an organisation's future.They talk about some of the common misunderstandings about risk management, and provide clarity on what good looks like.There is also a discussion about what role different people across the organisation play in risk management (hint: everyone manages risk!).Hope you enjoy the episode and don't forget to touch base with us if you'd lik...

In this episode, I talk about the drivers for organisations to manage risk - and its not just to 'stop bad things happening'!In fact all organisations manage risk - some have a disciplined approach that incorporates risk-based decision making, others are a bit more random in their approach.There are in fact many people still out there, even at Board level, that think risk means only threats. This means that they are only doing half the job - and leaving the organisation exposed to missing opp...

This episode is a replay of my discussion with Eamonn in July 2017. I thought it timely as we approach the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 event in New York as Eamonn was very much at the forefront of Westfield's response to the attacks.You may recall that earlier in that year, Westfield had acquired a long term lease from the New York Port Authority over the World Trade Centre sites retail areas so the attacks had deep significance for the Westfield team.The discussion is broader than just the ...
