Risk Advisory that supports confident and resilient organisations

In an increasingly complex and fast changing environment, organisations face a wide range of strategic, operational, regulatory and technology related risks. At RSM Switzerland, our Risk Advisory services support organisations in identifying, assessing and managing these risks in a structured, pragmatic and proportionate manner.

We work closely with boards, management teams and key stakeholders to strengthen governance, enhance internal controls and support informed decision making. Our approach goes beyond risk mitigation, helping organisations embed risk management into their business strategy, operations and day to day activities.

With a strong focus on Swiss SMEs and mid market organisations, we understand the need to balance growth, compliance and resilience without adding unnecessary complexity.

Managing risk in a changing business landscape

Economic uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, regulatory developments and evolving market dynamics are increasingly shaping the risk environment. Effective risk management requires clear visibility, robust frameworks and solutions that can be implemented in practice.

RSM Switzerland supports organisations in anticipating emerging risks, improving risk governance and ensuring compliance with applicable requirements. We help organisations protect value, maintain business continuity and strengthen resilience in the face of uncertainty.

Our Risk Advisory services address a broad range of risk areas, including enterprise risk management, operational risk, compliance, internal controls and business risk, always adapted to the organisation’s size, sector and regulatory context.

IT and technology risk as a core business challenge

Technology and information systems are now at the heart of business activity and value creation. As organisations increasingly rely on digital systems, IT and technology related risks have become a central component of overall risk management.

RSM Switzerland supports organisations in integrating IT risk into both strategic planning and daily operations. We help identify and manage risks related to IT governance, systems, projects, data and security, ensuring that technology supports business objectives rather than undermining them.

This includes supporting organisations in formalising IT risk frameworks, mapping IT risks, defining risk appetite and aligning IT governance with business strategy. 

Strengthening IT governance, controls and assurance

Sound IT governance and effective control environments are essential to managing technology related risks. Weak system design, inadequate configurations or insufficient controls can expose organisations to operational disruption, financial loss and reputational damage.

RSM Switzerland provides information systems assurance and IT risk expertise to help organisations ensure that their systems and the processes they support function as intended. We assess key IT risks, review controls and governance structures, and support organisations in strengthening assurance over their information systems.

Our services cover areas such as IT governance, control design and implementation, project and post implementation reviews, system assurance and support to internal IT audit functions, drawing on recognised standards and frameworks (COBIT, ISO, ITIL, etc.). 

Practical support, from assessment to implementation

Whether you are reviewing your risk framework, strengthening internal controls, addressing IT and technology risks or supporting internal audit and assurance activities, RSM Switzerland provides tailored and actionable Risk Advisory support.

We support organisations throughout the full risk management lifecycle, from initial assessment and prioritisation to implementation, monitoring and continuous improvement. As part of the RSM global network, we combine strong local Swiss expertise with international experience to deliver solutions that are proportionate, effective and aligned with your business objectives and regulatory environment. 

By helping organisations better understand and manage strategic, operational and technology related risks, RSM Switzerland supports confident decision making, sustainable performance and long term value creation.
