Are You Ahead or Behind? Benchmark Your Risk Maturity Today
At JCAD, we understand how vital it is for organisations to objectively assess and improve their risk management practices. That’s why we developed our Risk Maturity Scorecard, carefully aligned with the Institute of Risk Management (IRM) guidelines.
So far, over 100 organisations have completed our 20-question assessment, and we’re excited to share what the data reveals.
Benchmarking your risk maturity helps you:
- Identify strengths you can build on
- Pinpoint areas where small changes can drive significant improvement
- Gain external perspective, especially if your risk team is small or works in a silo
The scorecard evaluates three key dimensions:
- Risk Culture
- Risk Management Processes
- Risk Reporting & Monitoring
