Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) of the Business Services sector frequently face the challenge to identify business risks and threats from their very early stage. Often, they lack the required knowledge, competence and background that would help them build their necessary resilience to risks. This is where  EU-funded “CASSANDRA” comes into play.

SIMGA team joined with other 5 companies and organizations form other EU countries and prepared a state-of-the-art Methodology for Resilience Management supported by Three Unique Products.

 

The Products

CASSANDRA main outcome is a state-of-the-art Methodology to deal with Risk, Security and Continuity. This is supported by three key products, “Quick Check”, an “Online Course” and a “Guide”

Quick Check

The Quick Check is designed to raise the awareness of SMEs on potential business risks and the different areas of risk management. With the tool, SMEs can analyze possible risks and threats “on the job” and take initial steps to improve their risk management.

This includes standards of risk management, information on business continuity management and information on the structure and optimization of the company’s information security system.
