DE-RISKING ACTIONS

De-risking actions seek to lower the level of risk incurred by an organisation. This is achieved by reducing exposures, preventing the materialisation of threats, or reducing negative outcomes. As such, a de-risking approach is an active and conscious process that aims at improving the overall risk profile of an organisation and strengthen the risk taking process.

An important component of naval operations  consists in managing risks and, when possible, de-risking situations to prevent negative implications, both in peace and wartime.
