Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) refers to the regular in-depth review of risks that could potentially impact a company. Identifying these risks and then setting up plans to address them is a best practice for strong business management. ERM refers to the process of risk review and the corresponding plans so that management is best prepared for future disasters by assessing the risks and formulating a plan to manage and mitigate.

To prepare for the future companies must ensure that their technological capabilities are adequate. With remote working exploding and cloud technology advancing, it is essential that companies focus on preparing themselves for the future. The right infrastructure and software applications will be a major part of future success.

Along with this technology and shift to online work comes the extra need for security from cyber threats. Companies must ensure that they have adequate internet security in place and that employees are trained and familiar with security protocols. As the trend to store data and information in the cloud increases, additional consideration should be given to the security measures for the storage and retention of this data.
