Introducing the next generation of the Falcone International Risk Assessment (FIRA v2)

March 20, 2023

A structured read on your own risk and resilience — now free to anyone

We're excited to announce the launch of version 2 of our popular "Falcone International Risk Assessment" (FIRA) tool. As an organization specializing in risk management, business resilience building, corporate investigations, and business intelligence, we understand the importance of helping businesses evaluate their organization's risk and resilience status. That's why we've upgraded FIRA to make it even more efficient and user-friendly for organizations of all sizes.

The assessment returns a score and a risk band rather than a pass mark, because the useful output is the ranking of exposures underneath it. Twenty-five questions is deliberately short enough to finish in one sitting.

What's new in FIRA v2?

FIRA v2 comes with enhanced features and an improved user interface. By completing 25 focused questions, you can quickly identify your company's strengths and weaknesses in risk management and business resilience. This will help you prioritize actions and resources for maximum impact.

When you finish the questions you get a report and a score. The score shows where the organization is holding up and where it is not, ranked, so the next conversation about time or budget starts from evidence rather than from whoever argues hardest.

FIRA is free and public by design: an assessment that sits behind a sales conversation is least available to the organizations that most need one. The questions come out of the same risk and resilience work carried out for clients.

Why use FIRA v2?

FIRA is free and public because a risk assessment that sits behind a sales conversation is not much use to the people who most need one. The questions come out of the same risk management, resilience and corporate investigations work we do for clients.

In the words of Tobias Jaeger, our Founder, "With FIRA v2, we're excited to offer businesses an even more powerful tool to assess and improve their risk management and resilience strategies. Our mission is to make risk assessment and business resilience accessible to organizations of all sizes, and FIRA v2 is a significant step toward achieving that goal."

FIRA v2 works across all platforms

It works on desktop, laptop, tablet and phone, which matters mainly because most people who start it finish it somewhere other than where they began.

The assessment runs on desktop, tablet and phone without losing its structure. That matters less as a feature than as a practical point: it tends to be completed in parts, by several people, between other work, so it has to survive being put down and picked up again.

Fraud rises when budgets tighten. Pressure goes up, headcount comes down, and controls that quietly depended on someone having spare time stop working. This weekend read sets out where exposure concentrates during a downturn and which defenses actually hold: strong internal controls, systems that flag the patterns people miss, a crisis plan written before it is needed, and a culture in which raising an anomaly is not a career risk.

Joel Brenner sets the demand for transparency against the need for secrecy and finds that most institutions have no coherent answer to the collision. “Glass Houses” is less a privacy book than an account of what secrecy now costs, who can still maintain it, and how little of it survives in a world where nearly every action leaves a record somewhere.
