What we’re reading - August 19
RMIA CEO, Simon Levy, has been diving into some thought-provoking pieces lately. Here an article that he believes the risk community should have on their radar:
The latest CBP Quarterly Roundup highlights just how quickly digital governance, privacy, and cyber risks are evolving. From AI governance and cross-border data regulation to heightened director accountability, the message is clear: risk drives everything in today’s business landscape.
For RMIA and our members, these developments reinforce three realities:
Risk is a leadership imperative. Boards and executives are now expected to demonstrate oversight not only of financial risks, but also of technology, data ethics, and AI adoption.
Cyber and digital risks are no longer specialist issues. They are strategic risks that cut across operations, brand trust, and long-term resilience.
The profession must evolve at pace. Risk leaders need to anticipate, analyse, and navigate these challenges with clarity, bringing foresight into decision-making rather than reacting once regulators or crises force their hand.
At RMIA, we see this as an opportunity to strengthen our role as the benchmark for excellence in risk. Through certification, training, and our new digital community, we’re equipping professionals with the skills and foresight to lead in this environment.
As the CBP update shows, the pace of change won’t slow. The question for every organisation is: do you have the risk capability to keep up?
