The
shipping and mailing company in India has national IT infrastructure with
600,000 employees and thousands of facilities across the country. However, it
was facing some difficulties in updating and advancing its personnel security
policy. The company was in desperate need to create a personnel security policy
to establish a framework for identification and classification of risks,
associated with employee positions. The company's personnel security policy was
not refreshed to reflect the current accepted standards. This made the company
to remain unaware of the current and comprehensive list of project risks.
Management decided to determine the appropriate level of risk investigation for
each task.
Vume, one
of the leading professional service organizations in India, delivers consulting
and financial advisory services through its member firms. This organization
helped Personnel Security Project Management Office (PMO) to develop scoring
tool to calculate required background investigation of risk and help working
groups to resolve discrepancies.
This
scoring tool was used by the shipping and mailing company, which helped to
create a baseline list of all possible project risks and designate them as
low-risk, medium-risk, or high-risk. The project members were easily able to
detect the position of high-level risks and investigate them in order to
mitigate risk. The Vhume organization also presented this company with several
solutions on how to identify and mitigate the project risks.
Questions:
- What were the problems faced by the shipping and mailing company? Can you categorize these risks?
- How did Vume organization help the shipping and mailing company to identify and mitigate the project risks?
