Our Services
Enterprise Risk. Precisely Managed.
We deliver end-to-end risk management solutions — from board-level strategy to operational frameworks — built for organisations where the cost of being wrong is unacceptable.
Our Approach
What We Do
Meridian Risk operates across the full spectrum of enterprise risk management. Our engagements are diagnostic-first: we identify the true shape of your risk exposure before prescribing any framework or solution. Every service is delivered by senior practitioners — not junior analysts — with direct accountability to your leadership team.
Service Areas
What We Deliver
We design and implement comprehensive ERM frameworks aligned to ISO 31000 and COSO ERM standards. Our approach integrates risk appetite, tolerance thresholds, and escalation protocols into your existing governance structure — creating a living framework rather than a compliance artefact.
Methodology
- Risk Landscape Assessment — mapping all material risk categories across strategic, operational, financial, and reputational dimensions
- Appetite & Tolerance Design — defining quantitative and qualitative thresholds aligned to board strategy
- Framework Architecture — building the governance structure, risk register, and reporting hierarchy
- Embedding & Activation — training risk owners, embedding into business planning cycles, and establishing KRI dashboards
Deliverables
- ERM Framework Document (ISO 31000 / COSO aligned)
- Risk Appetite Statement & Tolerance Matrix
- Enterprise Risk Register
- Board Risk Reporting Pack
We replace subjective heat maps with rigorous quantitative and semi-quantitative risk assessments. Using Monte Carlo simulation, scenario analysis, and stress testing, we give your leadership team a defensible, data-driven view of your risk exposure — and its financial implications.
Methodology
- Exposure Identification — structured workshops with business unit leaders to surface all material risks
- Likelihood & Impact Modelling — quantitative scoring using historical data, industry benchmarks, and expert elicitation
- Scenario & Stress Testing — tail-risk scenarios modelled against capital and operational capacity
- Prioritisation & Treatment Planning — ranked risk register with treatment options, owners, and timelines
Deliverables
- Quantitative Risk Assessment Report
- Scenario Analysis & Stress Test Results
- Risk Heat Map & Prioritisation Matrix
- Treatment Plan with Ownership & Timelines
We help organisations navigate complex regulatory environments — from Basel III and Solvency II to sector-specific conduct and operational resilience requirements. Our approach transforms compliance from a cost centre into a governance asset that strengthens stakeholder confidence.
Methodology
- Regulatory Mapping — comprehensive inventory of applicable regulations, obligations, and upcoming changes
- Gap Analysis — current-state assessment against regulatory requirements with materiality scoring
- Remediation Roadmap — prioritised action plan with resource requirements and milestone tracking
- Governance Design — committee structures, three-lines-of-defence model, and accountability frameworks
Deliverables
- Regulatory Obligations Register
- Compliance Gap Analysis Report
- Remediation Roadmap & Programme Plan
- Three-Lines-of-Defence Framework
- Board Governance Charter
Operational failures and technology risks represent the fastest-growing category of enterprise exposure. We assess your operational risk profile — including cyber, third-party, process, and people risks — and build resilience frameworks that meet both regulatory expectations and operational reality.
Methodology
- Operational Risk Taxonomy — defining and categorising all operational risk types relevant to your business model
- Control Assessment — evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of key controls
- Technology Risk Review — assessing cyber risk posture, IT governance, and third-party dependencies
- Business Continuity & Resilience — scenario-based testing of recovery capabilities and crisis response protocols
Deliverables
- Operational Risk Framework & Taxonomy
- Control Effectiveness Assessment
- Technology & Cyber Risk Report
- Business Continuity Plan
- Incident Management Protocol
How We Work
Our Engagement Model
Every Meridian engagement follows a consistent four-phase model — adapted to your organisation's size, complexity, and risk maturity.
Scan
We begin with a structured scan to understand your current risk landscape, governance gaps, and strategic priorities — before recommending any solution.
Assess
We conduct a rigorous assessment of your risk exposures, evaluating likelihood, impact, and the effectiveness of existing controls across your organisation.
Advise
We deliver clear, independent advice — co-developed with your team — that reflects your organisation's culture, capacity, and risk appetite.
Protect
We help you implement practical protections, embed risk frameworks, and establish the monitoring and review cycles that keep your organisation resilient.
