Airports security webinar

Risk assessments are so simple and intuitive that we tend not to document them until a situation arises where we wish we had, by which time it’s too late! In International Airport Review’s upcoming webinar, Mike Woodall, Assistant Director of Security Consulting and Capacity Development at the International Air Transport Association (IATA), will be discussing IATA’s Threat and Risk Audit Matrix.

IATA believes that all organisations and risk managers should have the ability, confidence and associated supporting tools to effectively evidence, evaluate and review the threats, vulnerabilities, consequences, mitigation actions and ultimately the residual risks that affect their business.

Designed to provide the tools, templates, scoring metrics and electronic matrix needed to create, populate, evaluate, maintain and track the individual components of risk assessments in a timely, effective and evidence-based fashion, IATA’s Threat and Risk Audit Matrix enables individuals and organisations to become increasingly confident and ‘self- sufficient’ in respect of risk assessment creation.

During the webinar, IATA will present an effective evidence-based methodology and accompanying Toolkit to better support and educate the creation of timely, robust and documented risk assessments that can be monitored, evaluated, audited and adjusted in light of changing circumstances.
