Background
Acme Enterprises is a theoretical dynamic e-commerce company specialising in consumer electronics. The company is experiencing rapid growth, which has increased its reliance on digital platforms for sales and customer engagement. With this growth comes increased exposure to various risks that could threaten its business operations, including cyber threats, reputational risks from social media, internal team health issues, and supply chain vulnerabilities.
Challenges
As Acme Enterprises expands, it faces five main areas of risk:
1. Business Risks: With a growing footprint in the market, Acme needs to ensure that its business operations are resilient to financial, legal, and reputational risks. This includes protecting against data breaches, intellectual property theft, and compliance violations.
2. Technology Risks: The company’s reliance on digital infrastructure makes it vulnerable to cyber incidents like ransomware attacks, data breaches, and phishing scams. It needs to safeguard its technology stack and ensure robust cybersecurity measures.
3. Social Media Risks: As a brand with a strong online presence, Acme is susceptible to negative social media exposure. One bad customer experience going viral or a poorly handled crisis could significantly impact its brand reputation.
4. Team Health Risks: The internal team at Acme is the backbone of its operations. However, the fast-paced environment often leads to burnout, stress, and reduced productivity. Maintaining team health and morale is a priority to ensure consistent performance.
5. Supply Chain Risks: Acme’s supply chain includes multiple vendors and partners spread across different regions. The complexity of its supply chain makes it vulnerable to disruptions, delays, and security breaches at any point in the network.
