Types of Risk management
Strategic Risk
Everyone knows that a successful business needs a comprehensive, well-thought-out business plan. But it’s also a fact of life that things change, and your best-laid plans can sometimes come to look very outdated, very quickly.
Compliance Risk
Compliance risk is exposure to legal penalties, financial forfeiture and material loss an organization faces when it fails to act in accordance with industry laws and regulations, internal policies or prescribed best practices.
Operational Risk
Operational risk refers to an unexpected failure in your company’s day-to-day operations. It could be a technical failure, like a server outage, or it could be caused by your people or processes.
Financial Risk
Most categories of risk have a financial impact, in terms of extra costs or lost revenue. But the category of financial risk refers specifically to the money flowing in and out of your business, and the possibility of a sudden financial loss.
Reputational Risk
There are many different kinds of business, but they all have one thing in common, no matter which industry you’re in, your reputation is everything. If your reputation is damaged, you’ll see an immediate loss of revenue, as customers become wary of doing business with you. But there are other effects, too. Your employees may get demoralized and even decide to leave.
