“Of the industry recognition Deloitte has earned over the years, this placement from Gartner ranks among the top,” said Adel Melek, Managing Director, Enterprise Risk Services, Deloitte Global.
The Gartner report evaluated seven global firms and networks on three dimensions of risk management — framework, metrics, and systems. Within the quadrant graphic included in the report, Deloitte member firms’ risk management consulting services were positioned highest on the “ability to execute” axis and furthest on the “completeness of vision” axis.
Deloitte integrated its risk and security capabilities into one RM practice a few years ago and this is what has placed Deloitte as number 1. Deloitte considers this positioning as a ‘Leader’ as a reflection of its member firms’ commitment to helping clients integrates risk management into the business.
