Earlier, EkaLore posted a blog post, “5 Actions to Take,” and then “A Template for Action.” Today’s post explores the first of the five actions to take in detail.
Does your enterprise have products, services, or people exposed to risk because of ongoing deliveries or presence in the geographic areas of Ukraine, Russia, or locations close to the conflict zones?
Do Today: Ask people if they know staff, deals, or parties needing possible attention. Collect answers and decide what to prepare, then do.
The physical geography of the conflict zones is larger than multiple American states. Adjoining polities and high seas quickly enlarge the initial assumptions. A large private American enterprise announced an attack with physical damage on a bulk cargo vessel carrying goods in the Black Sea. The details are unclear while the implications of conflict zone risk exposures make needs to act immediate.
Enterprises engaged in providing products, services, or with staff transiting near the conflict zones have new concerns to identify, verify, and assess-evaluate possible risks. The risks aren’t just to enterprise employees. Your enterprise can be impacted if your employees have relatives (even by marriage or relationships), or if an employee is simply vacationing close to the conflict zones. Most likely your enterprise needs to solicit information from employees and critical parties to identify who, when, where, and what is at risk. It is key to provide staff with clear message and supportive actions on a timely basis.
Identifying risk exposures to products, services, and staff also means understanding where a product is installed or a service used. Many products may be shipped to enterprise locations and then transshipped to global locations. Services connected to remote locations across a customer’s enterprise network may be any global location. Simply, the network connections that deliver results for your enterprise have to be looked at in detail to understand transit points, connection exposures, and staff availability “in the middle of things”.
