16
Q

Why do we want to start risk profiling by looking at L3 risks?

A
  • It is too difficult to determine L1 MREs at first because they’re so broad.
  • We want to leverage risks existing in operations first.

25
Q

When do we start the CCA?

A

After robust risk description has been written, and controls have been linked to it.

26
Q

What are the 6 CCA steps (assuming no failures)

A
  1. Assess Coverage.
  2. Input Coverage into GRACE (Power BI will take this).
  3. Access Power BI CCA report.
  4. Assess Effectiveness
  5. Assess Efficiency.
  6. Determine overall CCA result.
    * CCA complete.
27
Q

Why do we assess Coverage?

A

To determine if any control coverage gaps exist.

28
Q

How is CCA Coverage assessed (as in what step will be followed)?

A

Utilise a template with a list of questions designed to establish if you have any control gaps in the identified overlayed controls linked to the risk.

29
Q

How is CCA Coverage determined (as in, what criteria are assessed)?

A
  • Primary assessment will be how well controls address event/cause/impact
  • Secondary assessment based on control taxonomy
  • This is done so CCA outcome is relevant to risk bowtie and helps form RRA (Residual Risk Assessment)
30
Q

What do we assess for Risk Taxonomies in the CCA template?

A

We try to match L3 Risk Taxonomy allocations with control buckets in the control taxonomy. This informs if we have appropriate controls for that risk type.

31
Q

Can we keep going if Coverage is Not Complete?

A

No, it is a hard stop.

32
Q

What do we do if Coverage is complete?

A

We fill the relevant GRACE field (TBD) that gets ingested into a Power BI report (in progress) that automatically calculates effectiveness and efficiency metrics for the CCA.

33
Q

Do we keep going if Effectiveness is rated Not Effective?

A

No, it is a hard stop.

34
Q

What do we do if all metrics for the CCA are green (i.e., CCA is Effective)?

A

We take a snapshot to show the CCA at a point in time, and upload this into GRACE as an artefact

35
Q

Is CCA outcomes from Power BI static?

A

Power BI is fluid and changes month-to-month, so you must take a snapshot to show the results of an analysis at a certain point in time and attach this to GRACE as an artefact.

36
Q

Can we update Risk Profiling with new CCA snapshots?

A

Yes, Risk Profiling is a dynamic process. Risk Profiling informs risk management going forward, so may revisit Power BI multiple times and update with new CCA snapshots.

37
Q

What is the workflow between the CCA, GRACE, and Power BI?

A
  • GRACE is the source of truth.
  • CCA and Power BI are driven by data from GRACE.
  • We update GRACE with outcome of CCA.
  • This completes the cycle.
38
Q

Since CCA draws data from GRACE, why do we need to update GRACE with CCA outcome?

A

CCA Coverage assessment is purely manual, so GRACE can’t automatically know the result.

39
Q

How many CCA templates will be made?

A

There must be 43 templates (one for every L3 risk) so they have CCA questions for each one.

40
Q

What is part of the reason the CCA template is aiming to be very granular and prescriptive?

A

To remove optionality and discretion (that leads to ambiguous or inconsistent results).

41
Q

When is the risk bowtie used?

A

After risks have been identified and CCA has been performed.

42
Q

What does RRA stand for?

A

Residual Risk Assessment

43
Q

What is the purpose of the RRA?

A

To see how much risk remains after the implementation of controls to address the risk

44
Q

What does TRA stand for?

A

Targeted Risk Assessment

45
Q

What is the purpose of the TRA?

A

Determine if residual risk is acceptable, understand what we want, and how we will get there.

46
Q

After the TRA, what do we do if we want lower residual risk?

A

Implement a risk response.

47
Q

After the TRA, what do we do if we think residual risk is too low?

A

We might be going too hard with controls, so we can look at removing some controls.

48
Q

We are looking at changes in how we will complete residual risk assessments. What will change in how people get data?

A

Currently, everyone is expected to get data themselves. In future, ORM will provide clear data points (capability to support making these accurate and helpful).

49
Q

We are looking at changes in how we will complete residual risk assessments. What will change in using the CCA?

A

Using the CCA will help us understand our risk bowtie and the balance/strength of our preventative/detective/corrective controls. Are we firefighting risks or actually preventing them?

50
Q

What is the traditional calculation used in risk management?

A

IRA – CCA = Residual Risk

51
Q

What is changing in how IRA is performed?

A

IRA will not be performed at the operational level; IRA will be performed centrally across the organisation.

52
Q

Why is IRA being removed from operational level?

A

There is minimal benefit, and it takes a lot of time and effort.

53
Q

When IRA is removed, what will be the start of risk profile analysis?

A

CCA

54
Q

Who is working on developing a strong reason not to use IRA?

A

KB. KB is confident we can move from MRE determination straight into CCA and get to the same point without using the IRA.

55
Q

What is happening to risk records for critical operations and divisional profiles?

A
  • They will need to be updated for critical operations.
  • Most of them for divisional profiles are already there
56
Q

What does ORP stand for?

A

Operational Risk Profiling

57
Q

What does ‘early adoption’ of the new ORP process involve?

A

Determination of risk profiles for two selected critical operations.

58
Q

How will the early adoption process go?

A

The Business/DCO will through the ORP process with the ORM and CCoE teams via a series of workshops followed by practical activities to be completed by the business in-between each workshop.

59
Q

What is the purpose of the ORP early adoption approach?

A

Use the experience to further develop the training and guidance required for full implementation in July.

60
Q

How does ORP early adoption approach benefit the Critical operation owner?

A

They will have a completed/partially completed profile for their CO completed ahead of time, with the assistance and guidance of the ORM/CCoE teams

61
Q

When will the ORP early adoption approach run?

A

24th April – 23rd May (5 weeks)
