Eighteen categories of corporate risk, structured for the people who have to make the call.
Built for general counsel, CFOs, heads of compliance, and boards. Each category compiles the questions, scenarios, and decision frameworks that matter when exposure moves from theoretical to live.
Fraud Investigations
Internal fraud, external fraud, and forensic inquiry — from early red flags to formal investigation, evidence preservation, and board reporting. Built for GCs, heads of internal audit, CFOs, and compliance leads dealing with suspected wrongdoing.
Legal Risk
Contract, litigation, and pre-dispute exposure. Covers counterparty disputes, contractual ambiguity, warranty claims, and the decisions that move a problem from commercial to legal.
Compliance
Regulatory compliance programmes, breach response, and the everyday decisions of a compliance function — from AML and sanctions to conduct rules and reporting lines.
Regulatory & Government Risk
Regulatory investigations, enforcement actions, licensing disputes, and government interface risk. For regulated firms, public-sector contractors, and any business where a regulator or minister can change the outlook overnight.
Financial Risk
Liquidity stress, credit exposure, covenant breaches, solvency and restructuring decisions. Covers the moments where finance moves from forecast into crisis.
Commercial Risk
Customer concentration, pricing disputes, channel conflict, supply failure and commercial disputes short of litigation. For COOs, commercial directors, and GMs navigating live operational exposure.
Deal Risk
M&A, JV, and strategic transaction risk — due diligence findings, deal-breakers, warranty exposure, integration failure modes, and the post-close surprises that separate good deals from bad ones.
Reputation Risk
Media scrutiny, social media crises, whistleblower claims that go public, and the strategic decisions that protect or destroy trust. For boards, CEOs, and comms leaders operating in high-visibility industries.
Data Breach & Cyber
Cyber incidents, ransomware, data loss, supply-chain cyber attacks and regulator notification. Covers the immediate response window through to long-tail liability and class actions.
Tech & AI Risk
AI deployment, algorithmic bias, model governance, IP leakage, and the governance decisions that separate safe AI adoption from reputational and regulatory harm.
Employment & Work Risk
Harassment, discrimination, redundancy, tribunal exposure, senior-hire disputes, and the HR decisions that end up in front of a lawyer or regulator.
Ethics & Whistleblowing
Whistleblower programmes, internal reports, speak-up culture, and the procedural decisions that determine whether a matter is handled internally or escalates to regulators and media.
Boardroom Disputes
Director conflict, shareholder disputes, governance deadlock, and the power dynamics that paralyse decisions. For chairs, GCs, company secretaries, and investor reps navigating contested boards.
Cross-Border Issues
Multi-jurisdiction investigations, parallel regulatory actions, extraterritorial enforcement (US, UK, EU), cross-border disputes, and the tradeoffs of cooperation vs. resistance.
Supply Chain & Operational Risk
Supplier failure, concentration risk, modern-slavery exposure, logistics disruption and operational resilience. For procurement leads and COOs managing single points of failure.
Insurance & Claims Risk
D&O, professional indemnity, crime, cyber and specialty insurance — coverage disputes, claims strategy, and the decisions that turn a covered loss into an uninsured one.
Political & Policy Risk
Sanctions, sovereign risk, regulatory shifts driven by politics, trade-policy exposure, and the strategic decisions that survive administration change.
Blockchain & Crypto
Crypto exposure, stablecoin risk, DAO governance, tokenised-asset disputes, exchange counterparty risk, and the regulatory uncertainty that defines digital-asset decisions today.
