When we talk about “compliance and security," most companies want to ensure that steps are being taken to protect what they value most – people, data, real or personal property, intellectual property, digital assets, or any other number of other things - and it’s more important than ever that safeguards are in place.

Collecting on bad debt is never as simple as it sounds, especially with commercial debt. Even once you have a judgment in hand, many debtors still do not pay willingly. You may need to identify assets yourself in order to claim them for debt payment. One type of asset may be the debtor’s own accounts receivables. If a third party owes them money, you may be able to reach across to that third party and apply their debt to your judgment.

Communication is a core component of a resilient organization's risk management framework. However, risk communication involves more than just reporting information and populating dashboards, and we may be limiting our skillset.
