Risk Management Insights
Coeur Group’s focus on Technology Risk Management (TRM) is the continuing process to identify, analyze, evaluate, and treat at risk exposures and monitor risk control and technology resources to mitigate the adverse effects of loss. Loss of data and information is one of the most critical concerns of CIO’s and Business Executives. Coeur Group utilizes industry proven disciplines and standards to assess and reduce technology risk with a deepened focus on information security through NIST 800-53, Revision 4, framework practices which is the basis for our CoeurSecure™ security consulting approach.
Enterprise Risk Management, expands the province of risk management to define risk as anything that can prevent the company from achieving its objectives.
Although accidental losses are unforeseen and unplanned, there are methods which can make events more predictable. The more predictable an event, the less risk is involved since the occurrence can prevented or mitigated; or, at minimum, expenses can be estimated and budgeted. It is this process to make loss more predictable that is at the core of insurance programs.
The key to an economical and efficient risk program is control over the risk management functions with assurance that actions performed are desirable, necessary, and effective to reduce the overall cost of operational risk. Coeur Group conducts risk mitigation in the following 6 Strategic and Assessment areas:
