Practice Benchmarks

Compare yourself to the industry

Operational risk management isn’t an exact science and practice is constantly evolving. One of the big challenges is knowing how other firms are operating and understanding how your practice compares. This is where ORX Practice Benchmarks can help.

What are Practice Benchmarks?

Practice Benchmarks cover a number of key areas of the operational risk framework. They allow you to assess the maturity of your organisation's practices against the industry and help you understand where you're doing well and where you could improve.

They consist of a survey of participant's practices, an overall report identifying key industry trends and a personalised benchmark report showing your organisation's practice against that of the other participants.
