Risk analysis

At Insurance Keepers, we place risk analysis at the heart of our consulting approach. Every company is unique, with its own specific characteristics, challenges and, above all, vulnerabilities. We carry out an effective risk analysis in five steps.

Information Gathering – Within the Premises
Risk analysis – Step 1/5

Gathering information about the company

This phase requires interviews with the company's decision-makers and managers. During an initial meeting, we get to know your company and, above all, get to know you!

Before identifying risks, it is essential to have a thorough understanding of the company:

  • Company name, registered office, legal structure
  • Business sector and activities
  • Organisation (workforce, organisational chart, operating sites, subsidiaries)
  • Key figures: turnover, asset value, inventories
  • Critical processes and operational flows
  • Specific regulatory environment (collective labour agreement)

  • Risk analysis – Step 2/5

    Risk identification

    This involves mapping all the internal and external risks to which the company is exposed.
    At this stage, it is useful to carry out site visits and use sector-specific checklists.

    Personnel Risks

    > D&O Liability
    > Occupational / Personal Accidents
    > Illness, Accident, Disability, Death
    > Pension Provision

    Property Risks

    > Fire, Natural Disaster, Water Damage
    > Theft, Vandalism
    > Machinery Breakdown
    > Loss or Damage to Stock
    > Technical Issue

    Liability Risks

    > General Liability (third-party damages)
    > Professional Liability
    > Product Liability
    > Owner's Civil Liability

    Financial Risks

    > Business Interruption
    > Credit & Debtor Risks
    > Legal Disputes

    Cyber Risks

    > Cyberattack, Ransomware
    > Data Breach

    Specific Risks

    > Transport / Logistics
    > Financial Guarantees

    Évaluation des risques
    Risk analysis – Step 3/5

    Risk assessment

    Each identified risk must be assessed according to two criteria:

    Criterion 1: Frequency (probability of occurrence): low/medium/high
    Criterion 2: Severity (potential impact): financial, operational, reputational

    The potential amounts of claims must be estimated, taking into account existing deductibles and coverage limits.

    Risk analysis – Step 4/5

    Risk management

    This phase consists of defining measures for each risk:

    Prevention/reduction (internal measures)
    Example: security systems, computer backups, training courses
    Transfer (insurance)
    Determine the necessary policies or risks to be covered:

    → Business liability, product liability, environmental liability
    → Building, contents, machinery, business interruption
    → Cyber risks
    → Credit insurance
    → Personal insurance (accident insurance, supplementary pension, group health insurance)
    → Transport/cargo insurance
    → Financial guarantees (surety bonds, etc.)
    Retention (self-insurance)
    Set a threshold above which the insurance applies (excess and safety reserve).

    The analysis should result in specific proposals for insurance solutions tailored to the company's profile and budget.
    Risk analysis – Step 5/5

    Writing an analysis report

    For a professional risk analysis report to be complete, it must contain:

    Summary of the company's activities and specific characteristics
    20%
    Risk mapping with assessment of each risk
    40%
    Existing insurance policies and potential gaps
    60%
    Detailed recommendations (insurance and preventive measures)
    80%
    A prioritised action plan
    100%

    This report will serve as a basis for discussions with management and may be updated regularly (annually or when significant changes occur).

    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions

    What added value does an insurance broker bring to my company or self-employed business?
    A broker acts as your independent partner in dealing with insurance companies. Their role is to:

    → analyse your specific needs and risks,
    → negotiate the best coverage and rates,
    → monitor your contracts over time and adjust them as your business evolves,
    → assist you in the event of a claim, defending your interests.

    At Insurance Keepers, we work exclusively in the interests of our clients as an independent intermediary with a comprehensive overview of your insurance coverage. You benefit from a single point of contact who is responsive and committed!
    Why is risk analysis essential for my business?
    A risk analysis allows you to identify threats specific to your business (fire, cyberattack, civil liability, business interruption, etc.) and measure their potential impact on your company.

    It serves as a basis for implementing preventive measures and choosing insurance policies that are truly tailored to your needs. This prevents you from paying unnecessary premiums while ensuring optimal coverage. Insurance Keepers offers a personalised approach to securing your business for the long term.
