Risk, Regulation & Resilience


Welcome to the first benchmarking report by Maddocks focused on business risk, regulation and resilience.

Over 400 businesses operating in the Australian market across all industries responded to a Maddocks survey, identifying areas where they are most vulnerable to risk and the measures they are taking to be more resilient.

Our report finds organisations are the most concerned about the risks coming from cyber-attacks, employee and reputational management, and regulation compliance – all of which need to be proactively managed. Many organisations are well prepared to manage an incident. However, budget constraints and a lack of crisis management planning remain a problem for many.
