Risk identification tool alerts businesses to threats

Law firm Harrison Clark Rickerbys (HCR) has joined forces with a global security consultancy to create a free online tool to help firms understand the threats they are facing.

The Risk Identifier, created by HCR in partnership with Blacksmiths Group, alerts businesses to problems they need to address.

It is backed up by industry-leading expertise and provides access to a full range of commercial, legal, insurance and security services, including people with experience at strategic level national security.

The tool uses a series of questions carefully targeted to bring out the issues which really count by focusing on three main categories - people, data and technology.

Clare Murphy (pictured), a partner at HCR, said: “Stopping to find the warning signs, let alone read them and react, can present a real challenge when you 're putting everything into growing your business.

“More often than not, management will either not identify something as an issue or will have a rough idea there is a problem there but will struggle to give it a shape or address it.

“Sometimes that is down to lack of time, but it can simply be hard to know where to start. Risk Identifier is designed to make the first step in that process quick and achievable and to signpost next steps, leaving you to take things forward at a pace to suit you. ”
