A9 AdvisoryEnterprise Risk Management
Link risk to strategy and make better decisions. We design risk frameworks that connect risk to objectives: appetite statements, consistent scoring, key risk indicators and reporting that helps leaders decide.
The Challenge
Risk registers are often maintained to satisfy auditors rather than to inform decisions. Risk appetite is undefined, scoring is inconsistent and the board sees a long list instead of a clear picture.
How We Help
We design risk frameworks that connect risk to objectives: appetite statements, consistent scoring, key risk indicators and reporting that helps leaders decide.
Our GRC specialists have more than 15 years of experience with UAE government entities and private sector organisations across the region, and hold certifications including CISA, CRISC, ISO 27001, ISO 22301, ISO 42001 and ISO 27701. We also build Arbor GRC, our own platform for running these programmes.

What is the difference between ISO 31000 and COSO ERM?
ISO 31000 provides principles and a process for managing risk. COSO ERM focuses on linking risk to strategy and performance. Many organisations draw on both.
