Integrated Risk Management consulting in New Zealand

When separate risk activities stop giving a joined-up view

Enterprise risk, technology risk, compliance, audit, assurance, continuity and remediation may each work reasonably well on their own. The difficulty appears when leaders cannot see how they relate, teams reconcile reports by hand, or the same issue has several owners and ratings.

Hot Desk provides Integrated Risk Management consulting for New Zealand organisations. We help decide what should be connected, who needs to own it and how the information should support real decisions.

What we can help you change

• Assess the current risk and assurance environment and identify where fragmentation matters
• Define the decisions, roles, information relationships and governance needed for IRM
• Turn those needs into product and integration requirements
• Evaluate platforms or improve the use of an existing one
• Plan data migration, implementation, adoption and ongoing ownership

You can commission one part of this work or ask us to carry it through to implementation. The scope does not have to follow a fixed sequence.

Selected work

Financial institution

For one large financial institution, Hot Desk assessed the current environment, designed an IRM programme and target architecture, developed the roadmap and supported stakeholder alignment. The work continued through deployment of Parapet in the customer's cloud environment and integration with critical enterprise systems.

Energy and utilities

For a large energy and utilities organisation, the work connected cybersecurity architecture and IRM across a complex multi-cloud estate. It included coordination of a cybersecurity engineering team, integration of Parapet and development of a security roadmap.

Both projects used Parapet, so they show our programme and implementation experience rather than an independent software-selection process. We do not attach measured outcomes where the available evidence does not support them.

Advice first, product second

We developed Parapet and understand IRM platforms from the inside. If another product, better use of the current environment or no platform change is the better answer, our advice should say so. When Parapet is selected, its product team handles configuration and support.

Start with a conversation

The first one-hour conversation is free. It gives us both a chance to understand the issue, decide whether we are the right fit and agree what a useful next step would be.
