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.
Organisations frequently focus on technical, financial, or compliance risks.
Some of the most damaging failures, however, emerge elsewhere.
They arise where trust erodes, pressure accumulates, relationships distort, and people feel unable to speak, act, or escalate concerns safely.
These conditions rarely trigger alarms — until they result in safety incidents, insider damage, reputational harm, or regulatory scrutiny.
What We Examine
Our work focuses on how organisations actually function under pressure, not just how they are designed.
We examine:
-
where informal power, dependency, and influence sit
-
how suppliers, contractors, and internal teams interact in practice
-
how external pressures quietly translate into internal risk
This allows us to surface vulnerabilities that are typically recognised only in hindsight.
What We Provide
Our work typically includes:
-
Organisational risk mapping
Understanding how decisions, dependencies, and relationships interact in reality. -
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 that strengthen systems without creating fear or blame.
Who This Is For
This work is suited to organisations that:
-
operate in safety-critical or high-pressure environments
-
rely on complex supplier or contractor networks
-
face insider-risk, reputational, or governance exposure
-
want to address human risk before incidents occur
We work with leadership teams who understand that resilience is built upstream, not after failure.
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.
