How We Serve

About RISKliance

RISKliance works with banks, financial technology firms (FinTechs), regulatory technology firms (RegTechs), and related solution providers by assessing a firm’s current risk profile versus its ability to meet business objectives. We at RISKliance work with clients to better position risk as a value-add function rather than simply an oversight function. At RISKliance, we believe ALL risks applicable to your business are ultimately financial risks. We help our clients identify risks that could impact their ability to meet their articulated business objectives set by management, investors, the Board, and other stakeholders. It is our goal to help maximize return on risk management efforts, framework, and governance.

We Get To Know Your Business

Customized Advice

At RISKliance, we approach each client engagement with fresh eyes for a deep understanding of process, risk, and technology solutions. Our belief is that proper identification, discussion, and mitigation of risks to meeting business objectives must be approached from the business (bottom up) rather than simply from executive-level committees (top down). It is the business who truly knows their risks and lives and breathes them every day. A bottom-up approach to assessing current environment coupled with discussions around sustainability, ongoing monitoring, and scalability through technology will result in a more targeted and aligned risk management strategy going forward and one that the business understands, supports, and owns.

Legacy risk management frameworks may not effectively address your current risk profile, may not align with business objectives, and may create more work than value for your team. This coupled with a historical disconnect between business roles and responsibilities have created risk frameworks that are out of touch with the business, are unnecessarily confusing, and are incongruent with ROI goals.

If you would like to break through all that noise and have a real conversation around risks to your business meeting its business objectives, we would love to help. Reach out and schedule some time.
