At the heart of the Hillard Heintze commitment to continually advance the highest standards of excellence in security is the rigor with which we approach the risk, threat vulnerability assessment – a critical, nuanced and sometimes sophisticated process that requires expertise, experienced insight and the ability to anticipate the implications of many different kinds of threats and vulnerabilities – and their various combinations – on a client's people or business.
Hillard Heintze's risk, threat and vulnerability assessments employ rigorous investigative and analytical techniques to identify, assess and manage the risks confronting a business or initiative, a portfolio of corporate assets or operations, or the business and personal activities of an at-risk executive, individual or family.
Comprehensive Risk, Threat and Vulnerability Assessment — Detailed and rigorous review of a wide range of natural, accidental and human threats. Analysis of the implications of these threats on current capabilities related to security, crisis management, continuity of operations and emergency preparedness. Recommendations on most attractive opportunities to better mitigate risk.
Quantitative Risk Analysis — Application of a proprietary methodology that is fully aligned with the Department of Homeland Security's approach to risk as a function of threats, vulnerabilities and consequences. Results in a prioritized ranking of risks that allows comparisons across categories. Helps capture information and craft consensus across multiple internal and external stakeholders. Provides a transparent, score-based platform that can be used to rationalize, plan and align ongoing investments in security capabilities in a manner that reflects both the risk environment and the organization's unique objectives, capabilities and constraints.
