FIND OUT MORE

In response to a priority of a Risk Leadership Network member, we've recently conducted a bespoke benchmark report on the risk reporting lines, team structures, operating models and risk priorities at technology companies ranging from fast-growing start-ups to some of the largest businesses on the NASDAQ and other indices. 

Risk operating models in the technology sector


The benchmark report compiles in-depth data from interviews with 11 technology firms, including software-as-a-service, fintech, property, human resources, sales and more.

  • Details and analysis of risk operating models - how is Risk structured?
  • Breakdown of Risk team components and resources, split by company size.
  • Risk priorities - the priority focus area and  Risk team capability focus area for the Risk team.

We're only able to show this data to prospective members - in-house corporate risk leaders at large non-financial institutions in Europe, MENA and Asia-Pacific.

FAQs

Who has taken part in the benchmark?

11 different technology firms operating around the world.

The companies vary in size from small, fast-growing start-ups to some of the largest businesses on the NASDAQ and other indices. The companies operate in various industries including software-as-a-service, fintech, property, human resources, sales and more.

The more relevant unifying factors are their large, complex risk profiles, and divergent operational and strategic risks that must be managed differently as multiple sites and in as many as 20+ countries.

What data is included?
  • Details and analysis of risk operating models - how is Risk structured?
  • Breakdown of Risk team components and resources, split by company size.
  • Risk priorities - the priority focus area for the Risk team.
How was the data collected?

Input for this benchmarking report was collected via interviews with risk leaders at each company. The recipients were invited by Risk Leadership Network so that only relevant risk leaders contributed data. The interviews asked a series of mostly open-ended questions to understand the structure of each organisation's risk team and its priorities. 

All responses have been anonymised, collated and analysed collectively for this report.

Why did you create this benchmark?

A member approached us with a priority:  to work out how to effectively deploy the risk resource, how to incorporate first line risk support, how to aggregate inconsistent risk information and how to ensure thta both top-down and bottom-up risk management is working effectively in the business.  Together we decided that the best way to approach this was for Risk Leadership Network to create a bespoke benchmark, using insights from other organisations with similar challenges. 

This is one of the many ways that we work with members to address their risk priorities.

Do you have any other benchmarks?

Yes, we regularly create benchmarks or pulsechecks  in response to our members' priorities. Take a look at some of our latest benchmarks here.

Of course, the benchmarks are often useful for other organisations too and we share the results.
