International standard for managing risk in organisations revised by BSI BSI, the business standards company, has published the revised international standard for risk management BS ISO 31000:2018 Risk Management: Guidelines. The purpose of this standard is to assist a given organisation to integrate risk management into all of its activities and functions. Properly implemented, risk management improves performance, encourages innovation and supports the achievement of objectives. With that in mind, BS ISO 31000 provides Best Practice guidance on how an organisation can create the framework for a risk management strategy which aligns with its broader goals. Risk can take many shapes and forms including economic, political and environmental. BS ISO 31000 is intentionally broad in its scope in order to assist organisations with managing risk of any kind, and is consequently applicable to organisations in all sectors. A notable change in this revision is a review of the principles of risk management. One of these is continual improvement. This means it’s not enough for an organisation to create a risk management framework which is never revisited or reviewed. To be effective, the risk management framework needs to take into account the context of the organisation and its current risk management practices so that gaps can be addressed. The different parts of the framework and how they work together should always be adapted for specific needs. Human and cultural factors are also key. For example, different opinions will affect risk appetite in addition to the judgement and perception of risk. A traditional hierarchical organisation may have very different attitudes towards risk when compared to a collaborative, innovation-based company. This latest revision of BS ISO 31000 highlights the importance of top management not only implementing risk management, but also promoting it. Ultimately, the effectiveness of risk management depends on its integration into an organisation at all levels. Anne Hayes, head of the governance and resilience sector at the BSI, informed Risk UK: “Effective risk management is about all levels of an organisation strategically planning for both today and tomorrow. BS ISO 31000 provides structured risk management guidance for organisations such that they can prepare effectively for the future. Ultimately, having a plan in place is in the very best interests of everyone’s safety, security and resilience.” New Government model announced for funding data protection work of ICO The Government has announced a new charging structure for data controllers to ensure the continued funding of the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). The new structure was laid before Parliament on Tuesday 20 February as a Statutory Instrument and will come into effect on 25 May 2018 in order to coincide directly with the advent of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Until then, organisations are legally required to pay the current notification fee unless they’re exempt from having to do so. To help data controllers understand why there’s a new funding model and what they’ll be required to pay from 25 May 2018, the ICO has produced a Guide to the Data Protection Fee. The ICO’s data protection work is currently funded through fees levied on organisations that process personal data (as stated, unless they’re exempt). This is transacted under powers granted in the Data Protection Act 1998. When the GDPR comes into effect in late May, it will remove the requirement for data controllers to pay the ICO a fee. The Government has proposed the new funding structure based on the relative risk to the data that an organisation processes. The model is divided into three tiers (more of which anon) and based on a number of factors including an organisation’s size, turnover and whether it’s a public authority or charity. For very small organisations, the fee will not be any higher than the £35 they currently pay (if they take advantage of a £5 reduction for paying by direct debit). Larger organisations will be required to pay £2,900. The fee is higher here because these organisations are likely to hold and process the largest volumes of data. As such, the risk is greater. The new fees are as follows: Tier 1 – Micro organisations Maximum turnover of £632,000 or no more than ten members of staff. Fee: £40 (or £35 if paid by direct debit) Tier 2 – SMEs Maximum turnover of £36 million or no more than 250 members of staff. Fee: £60 Tier 3 – Large organisations Those not meeting the criteria of Tiers 1 or 2. Fee: £2,900 6 www.risk-uk.com
News Update New technology unveiled by Home Office in bid to help combat terrorist content online The Home Office has announced the development of new technology to automatically detect terrorist content on any online platforms. Tests have shown that this new tool can automatically detect 94% of Daesh propaganda with 99.995% accuracy. It boasts “an extremely high degree of accuracy”. For instance, if it analyses one million randomly selected videos, only 50 would require additional human review. The tool can be used by any platform and integrated into the upload process such that the majority of video propaganda is stopped before it ever reaches the Internet. Developed by the Home Office and ASI Data Science, the technology uses advanced machine learning to analyse the audio and visuals of a video and determine whether it could be Daesh propaganda. The Home Office and ASI Data Science will be sharing the methodology behind the new model with smaller companies to help combat abuse of their digital platforms by terrorists. Many of the major tech companies have developed technology specific to their own platforms and publicly reported on the difference this is making in their fight against terrorist content. Smaller platforms, however, are increasingly targeted by Daesh and its supporters and often don’t have the same level of resources to develop such technology. The model, which has been tested using over 1,000 Daesh videos, isn’t specific to one platform. That being the case, it can be used to support the detection of terrorist propaganda across a range of video streaming and download sites in real-time. Welcoming the new technology, Home Secretary Amber Rudd (pictured) said: “Over the last year, we’ve been engaging with Internet companies to make sure that their platforms are not being abused by terrorists and their supporters. I have been impressed with their work so far following the launch of the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism, although there’s still more to be done. I do hope this new technology which the Home Office has helped to develop can support others to go further and faster.” Separately, new Home Office analysis demonstrates that Daesh supporters used more than 400 unique online platforms to push out their poisonous material in 2017, highlighting the importance of technology that can be applied across different platforms. Previous research has found the majority of links to Daesh propaganda are disseminated within two hours of release. London Mayor’s Budget confirms additional £110 million for Metropolitan Police Service in 2018 Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, has committed to investing an additional £110 million into the Metropolitan Police Service across the next 12 months. This substantial investment means that City Hall is paying a greater percentage of the overall policing budget in the capital than ever before – up from 18% in 2010 to 23%, in fact. Since 2010-2011, the Metropolitan Police Service’s general grant funding from the Government has fallen by more than £700 million (or nearly 40% in real terms) on a likefor-like basis. Indeed, the Metropolitan Police Service has had to find roughly £600 million worth of savings, with the Mayor of London orchestrating a further £150 million of savings since taking office. This has led to the loss of a third of police staff posts, which are down from 14,330 to 9,985, as well as two-thirds of Police Community Support Officer posts. These are down from 4,607 to 1,591. In addition, there are now 114 fewer police station front counters and 120 less police buildings. Khan has repeatedly warned that, with further savings still needed, the Metropolitan Police Service is running out of options and that police officer numbers in the capital could fall significantly below 30,000 before 2021 – a dangerous low which “presents a serious risk” to the safety of Londoners. Khan commented: “These are challenging times, with Brexit posing a real threat to jobs and prosperity and the Government’s continued austerity programme damaging public services in our city. However, I’m convinced that this Budget will improve the lives of all Londoners and increase the opportunities available for our citizens to fulfil their potential.” The Mayor continued: “The Government has repeatedly refused to act on the funding crisis facing police services across Britain. This leaves me with no choice but to take the unusual step of increasing police funding from London business rates as well as Council Tax. However, tackling rising crime will also require us to be tough on the causes of crime.” In this Budget, Khan has created a new £45 million Young Londoners Fund to support education, sport and cultural activities for them over the next three years. 7 www.risk-uk.com
