Offer — Industrial risks
Building a robust and defensible risk management framework
We help organisations facing industrial risks to improve the consistency of their systems, identify blind spots, and build a robust, transparent and defensible risk management framework in critical environments.
- Identify inconsistencies before they become vulnerabilities
- Strengthen defence-in-depth and the overall logic
- Better justify technical choices in a demanding environment
Are you working on a highly critical system or project?
We can help you clarify your risk management approach, identify blind spots and strengthen the overall robustness of your decisions.
Your context
When compliance is no longer enough to guarantee truly robust control
In high-stakes industrial environments, mere documentary or procedural compliance is not always enough. What also matters is the overall consistency of the system, the quality of the defence rationale, the clarity of technical choices and the ability to demonstrate that risks are truly understood, structured and controlled.
- You are working on a highly critical system, facility or project
- You wish to identify vulnerabilities before they trigger a chain reaction
- You are seeking to strengthen defence in depth and the overall consistency of the system
- You want to better structure and defend your technical choices in the face of critical scrutiny
Common challenges
What often undermines industrial risk management
In critical systems, vulnerabilities rarely arise from a single isolated point. They often result from a lack of overall coherence, an incomplete defence-in-depth strategy, or an insufficiently structured understanding of the interactions between risks, barriers and scenarios.
Insufficiently structured control logic
Measures may exist, but they are not always coordinated in a way that is clear enough to demonstrate true overall robustness.
Blind spots in the defence-in-depth strategy
Certain barriers are in place, but their complementarity, limitations or points of dependency may remain insufficiently analysed.
Technical choices that are difficult to defend
Even when they are relevant, certain choices may remain vulnerable if they are not sufficiently justified, prioritised or placed within a consistent framework of risk management.
What we offer
A strategic perspective to enhance the consistency and defensibility of the framework
Our approach aims to take a risk management framework from a merely acceptable state to one that is robust, consistent and defensible.
The objective is to better structure the existing elements, identify blind spots and strengthen the system’s overall ability to withstand rigorous scrutiny.
Systemic review of the framework
Analysis of the interactions between scenarios, barriers, assumptions and technical choices to identify inconsistencies or critical dependencies.
Strengthening defence in depth
Clarification of the role of each line of defence, identification of weak links and coordination between existing safeguards.
Improvement of defensibility
Clearer and more robust reasoning to better support technical choices in a critical environment.
Our approach
How the support process works
Our involvement may be a one-off engagement or form part of a key stage in a project, a safety review, work to strengthen risk management systems, or a strategic review of technical choices.
Step 1: defining the context and challenges
Understanding the system, risk scenarios, safety and security objectives, project constraints and key areas of sensitivity.
Step 2: Critical analysis of the system
Structured review of existing elements to identify blind spots, inconsistencies, dependencies and insufficiently demonstrated aspects.
Step 3: consolidation and reinforcement
Targeted recommendations to improve defence in depth, clarify the rationale and strengthen the overall robustness of the system.
Expected outcome
What you will achieve at the end of the process
The aim is to achieve a clear, consistent and defensible understanding of risk in a context where every vulnerability can have significant consequences.
Consistent view of risk
The links between scenarios, safeguards, assumptions and vulnerabilities become clear and well-structured.
Strengthened defence in depth
Weaknesses, critical dependencies and coverage gaps are identified and addressed.
Justifiable technical choices
You have a robust system and a solid rationale to support your decisions in a demanding environment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some frequently asked questions to consider before carrying out work on a risk control device or a critical system.
When should an external review be carried out
Whenever a project, installation or critical system requires a more robust assessment of risk management, or when you wish to challenge the overall consistency prior to a significant stage.
Do you work exclusively on nuclear matters?
Nuclear energy has historically been the core of our expertise, but the approach of robust risk management, defence in depth and systemic consistency can also be applied to other critical industrial environments.
Is this suitable for a one-off assignment?
Yes. The assignment may focus on a specific issue, a preliminary review, a consistency analysis, a defence mechanism or a particular technical choice requiring consolidation.
