About us

Ambition innovation

AsGuard is a diverse group of experienced risk management professionals.  We've come from different risk-related backgrounds, but we've all come to the same conclusion.

In a nutshell, it's well known that, just as great brakes enable a car to go much faster, effective risk management enables organizations to set more ambitious objectives.   The challenge, however, is that currently, most organizations cannot implement effective risk management because data silos mean the information required for truly effective risk management isn't developed.  

We're developing new risk management systems and technology that enable far more effective risk management and, therefore, greater ambition.

What drives us.

 

Accelerating Change:

Change increases risk, and rapidly accelerating change increases risk exponentially. 

Traditional risk management is a several hundred years old approach not designed for rapid change, and is now too slow to adapt to manage most of the risks most organizations now have to manage.

When, not if:

When successfully implemented, the benefits of risk management best practices over traditional risk management are so significant that no organization would willingly forego them.  The benefits include fewer and less costly adverse events, lower costs, greater trust, achieving objectives more often and earlier, and higher valuations.  The gap in outcomes between traditional and best-practice risk management, already considerable, will continue to grow.  It's a "when," not "if" decision to adopt risk management best practices.

And yet:

Currently, most organizations don't implement risk management best practices because implementing them takes a combination of time, money, data, and experience that too few organizations have access to.

We're addressing each of these challenges by developing technology that enables two approaches to implementing risk management best practices.

Short-term solutions:

For most organizations' short term, we're developing solutions for those key moments in a risk's journey that, handled well, transform the risk.  Like making sure a waiver says what it needs to say and keeps saying it as the legal environment changes.

The long-term solution:

We've created a complete risk management system that makes using best practices practical and accessible to any organization.
