DSRM - Risk & Crisis Management
Strengthening Organisations Against Hidden Human Risk
We help organisations identify and reduce the human, relational, and structural vulnerabilities that external actors, internal failures, or unresolved harm can exploit.
Most organisations focus on technical, financial, or compliance risks.
The most damaging failures, however, often emerge elsewhere.
They arise where:
-
trust breaks down
-
pressure accumulates
-
relationships become distorted
-
and people feel unable to speak, act, or escalate concerns safely
These conditions rarely trigger alarms, until they result in safety incidents, insider threats, reputational damage, or regulatory scrutiny.
Our work focuses on the spaces traditional controls struggle to see.
We examine:
-
how organisations actually function, not just how they are designed
-
where informal power and dependency sit
-
how suppliers, contractors, and internal teams influence one another
-
where external pressures can quietly translate into internal risk
This allows us to surface vulnerabilities that are usually only recognised in hindsight.
What we provide
Our work typically includes:
-
Organisational risk mapping
Understanding how decisions, dependencies, and relationships interact in practice. -
Human and relational vulnerability assessment
Identifying where stress, silence, coercion, or disengagement could be exploited. -
External influence and exploitation risk analysis
Including supplier dynamics, criminal proximity, and coercive threats. -
Targeted advice and capability building
Practical steps, language, and training that strengthen systems without creating fear or blame.
This work is suited to organisations that:
-
operate in safety-critical or high-pressure environments
-
rely on complex supplier or contractor networks
-
are exposed to reputational or insider-risk concerns
-
want to address human risk proactively rather than reactively
We work with leadership teams who understand that resilience is built before incidents occur.
Our approach
We are discreet, evidence-led, and systems-focused. We do not sensationalise risk or personalise blame.
We help organisations see what is already there, and act earlier, more safely, and with greater confidence.
A first conversation
If you are concerned about vulnerabilities that are difficult to name, but too important to ignore, we welcome an initial, confidential discussion.
