Agenda item

The Committee considered a report of the Corporate Director, Resources which highlighted the strategic risks facing the Council and that gave an insight into the work carried out by the Corporate Risk Management Group during the period July to September 2017 (for copy see file of Minutes).

The Risk, Insurance and Governance Manager informed the Committee that there were 23 strategic risks and highlighted the key changes during this quarter.  The new risk was the ‘potential breach of the EU General Data Protection Regulations’ which meant that the Council would be tightening data protection.

The Committee were advised that following the new risk last quarter of Cyber-crime a lot of work was taking place around the risk from third party providers as the Council did not know how affective these systems were. 

Resolved:

That the report provides assurance that strategic risks were being effectively managed within the risk management framework across the Council.
