We recognize that we cannot address all risk. Therefore, we choose to assess which risks are most probable and impactful, then to mitigate or accept those risks. We also choose to assess the viability of operating in all locations on a yearly basis to avoid complacency bias. We seek to have a clear vision of the realistic risks associated with a specific location so that we can actively choose to operate there, while mitigating the risks as we can. |
Reliant will perform a formal risk assessment for every new international partner to determine the Reliant International Risk Levels for the team's location. Reliant will work with field leadership, the partner church/ministry, and any approved third-party decision maker (sending network, sending church, etc) to gather as much information as possible. This will include specific location(s) of the ministry, future vision/mission of team, forecasting/evaluating impact and probability of threats, and documenting mitigation steps to reduce the risk of each threat above a medium level. Once this information is gathered, Reliant will work with our security consultant to weigh the real-time risk and threat levels for the location/ministry. Reliant's security consultant factors in governmental travel restrictions and warnings, real-time intel, and information from the Overseas Security Advisory Counsel (OSAC). Lastly, Reliant will take into account organizational liability and insurance availability in the risk assessment.
Reliant will perform a formal risk assessment every year for all current (and potential) locations to determine the Risk Level for the specific team's location.
Additionally, a location-specific risk assessment must be performed if:
- There is a significant change in the security climate of a location due to governmental, environmental, societal, or other significant factors
- The location is deemed to be at a generally high-risk level and Reliant leadership determines that more frequent evaluations are necessary
