Who We Are
We are an all-volunteer, member-driven organization of practitioners who are passionate about advancing risk management-based principles across Cyber, IT, and Physical security disciplines.
Our founders have had first-hand experience adopting risk-management principles during their careers. With that came a realization there is a pressing need for:
- New thought leadership
- More fearless approaches to address vital enterprise security risk topics
So with a vision of a future where risk principles are embraced across security disciplines, the Global Security Risk Management Alliance was born.
We drive awareness, adoption and development of E/SRM methods — across all industries where reducing risk to people and things, intellectual property and data, or operations and supply chains is a strategic priority to enable the business.
Why We Care
There’s a paradigm shift afoot in the security profession. We’ve seen it coming. And we’re witnessing it happening across cyber and physical security. Why?
- The global landscape is changing
- Risks are evolving
- Technology enables even more rapid transformation
- Boards are taking interest
Progressive companies rely more on security leaders as key advisers on risk management in the enterprise. Across cyber and physical security disciplines.
So they’re demanding leaders who thoroughly know the business and industry in which they operate. This requires a new breed of security leader, with broader risk frameworks.
Created in 2015 by real-life security pioneers, we’ve been helping today’s practitioners embrace tomorrow’s E/SRM concepts.
How We Help
From practitioners to the boardroom, GSRMA members provide expertise, insights, advocacy, benchmarking, and best practices to individuals and teams in business and government.
