11 RISK MANAGEMENT is not a precise science……..but rather an operational art!!
12
12 Key Assumptions Threat – Anything that may cause harm, loss or damage to staff, assets and activitiesThreat – Anything that may cause harm, loss or damage to staff, assets and activities Risk – likelihood of the threat manifesting and the impact of thisRisk – likelihood of the threat manifesting and the impact of this Mitigation – regulating staff exposure and/or application of resources (Phasing & MOSS/MORSS)Mitigation – regulating staff exposure and/or application of resources (Phasing & MOSS/MORSS)

14 Threat Assessment Risk Analysis Review Programme Assessment Vulnerability Assessment Options Decision Implementation SRM Process Algorithm
15
15 Threat Assessment Risk Analysis Programme Assessment Vulnerability Assessment Security Risk Assessment (SRA) is an integral component of SRM
16
16 Impact Risk likelihood Critical (Death or Severe Injury, Loss of Programs or Projects, Complete Destruction of Assets) Severe (Serious Injury, severe program Disruption, Major Destruction of Assets) Moderate (Non-Life Threatening Injury, High Stress, Program Delay or Disruption, Loss/damage of Assets) Minor (Minor Injury, Minimal Delay to programs, Some Loss or damage to Assets) Negligible (Nil Injuries or Program Delays Anticipated Minimal Damage or Loss of Assets) Certain (occurring or about to occur) Critical HighMediumLow Very Likely (very high probability) CriticalHigh MediumLow Likely (high probability) High MediumLowNegligible Mod Likely (reasonable probability) Medium Low Negligible Unlikely (Not a realistic probability) Low Negligible

17 SRA Scope and Coverage UNDP inputs to Country SRA - covers all individual components of the UN UNDP CO SRA should be developed Special events, conferences, new missions, new premises - require dedicated SRA
18
18 Review Purpose Updates threats to staff Identifies generic risk level associated with these Validates current mitigation –security phase, and –MOSS/MORSS Closely linked to plans and SOPs Justifies tempo and expenditure
19
19 SRA Scope and Coverage - continued SRA Review Sequence: Every six months for Security Phase I. Quarterly for Security Phase II. Monthly for Security Phase III. Weekly for Security Phase IV and V.
