Redefining Risk

Welcome to Our World of Risk Management

Redefining risk. This has been our credo for over 20 years.

Since day one, we’ve been reshaping the way the world thinks about risk. You could say it’s in our DNA.

While others fear risk, we embrace it. While others see risk management as the brakes that halt progress, we see it as the rocket fuel that launches businesses to unprecedented heights.

Why Is Redefining Risk Important?

The world today is more volatile than ever before and attitudes have understandably changed. All stakeholders from members, shareholders, regulators and the general public are now demanding better risk management from organisations.

What was once a backstage concern must now play a leading role. The reality is, if you want to be better as a company, you need to get better at taking risks.

But we see risk management as more than just managing expectations. For us, it is the gateway to exciting new opportunities and accelerated growth.

It’s Time to Celebrate

For over 20 years, we’ve worked tirelessly to raise the bar for risk management.

We’ve pioneered cutting-edge solutions that have changed the face of the industry.

We’ve unleashed new possibilities for organisations of all sizes across a wide range of sectors.

Our efforts have resulted in millions of incidents managed across thousands of individual risks and over 25 thousand people have attended our training courses to date.

What a ride it’s been. And this is only the beginning...

Because the truth is, we haven’t just been busy redefining risk for our clients… we’ve also been busy redefining ourselves!

So without further ado, it’s time to start your journey in redefining risk with the next evolution of Protecht.

Down Memory Lane

Having worked together at PriceWaterHouseCoopers in the late ‘80s and then later at Industrial Bank of Japan, our founders, David Tattam and David Bergmark, set their sights on innovating new risk solutions that the industry so desperately needed at the time.

But they needed a name. Out of a taxi brainstorm session one afternoon grew the seed that would become 'Protecht' (a combination of 'Protection' and Technology).

As the challenges and demands of the business world evolved, so too did Protecht, expanding to provide the most holistic approach to risk management on the market with world-class training, advisory and innovative software solutions.

Risk management has always been associated with negative connotations.

It’s scary. It’s confusing. It’s technical. And It’s too expensive.

But it doesn’t have to be. Our goal is to upend the traditional image of risk management with the promise that you will never look at risk the same way again.

How Do We Achieve This?

By continuously innovating to bring you the most complete, cutting-edge and cost-effective risk management solutions.

By empowering you with world-class training with technical and practical knowledge that you can put into effect in your workplace.

By managing the entire implementation process and onboarding each member of your team. We’re with you for your entire risk journey.

By stripping away jargon to speak your language. Risk management can be a complicated business. That’s why we make the extra effort to explain things simply and clearly.

Redefining Risk Also Means Redefining Ourselves

To ensure we were in the best position to continue to be pioneers of our industry, we decided to conduct a full health check-up of our brand and the industry.

After months of research, analysis and interviewing all stakeholders, the findings were clear — we needed to evolve.

Even though risk management is one of the most exciting spaces to be in right now for us and our clients, our industry was seen as uninspired and dull by the wider public.

It was time to break this perception. Emphatically.

Evolving Our Brand

We loved what we did and we wanted our audience to feel our genuine passion through every touchpoint with our brand.

So we went about reexamining and improving every aspect of our brand. No detail was spared.

Say Hello to the Next Evolution of Protecht

We’re proud to present our new and improved brand identity that truly reflects our passionate and pioneering spirit and our buzzing industry.

Our Logo and Visual Identity

Pioneers need to look the part too. We’ve breathed new life into our logo and visual identity by introducing a new range of vivid blues, sleek gradients and accents. We’ve also refreshed our typography and photography.

Our New Website

Every interaction with Protecht should be a rich experience. So we’ve completely revamped our website, drastically improving the design, functionality and information for a much better user experience.

The Way We Talk

We’re not robots with a long preset list of jargon and corporate-speak. We’re humans. So it’s about time we sounded more human across all our communication.

Our Values

The foundation of everything we do is based on four important tenets.

1. Be the Pioneer
   We’re fearless in our pursuit of pioneering new solutions. Where others see the impossible, we see the endless possibilities.
   
   
2. Human Connections
   'Who we are' never gets lost behind 'what we build'. While our world is driven by technology, it is our human touch and the authentic relationships that we foster that is most important.
   
   
3. Embrace Taking Risks
   Taking more risks is not to be misunderstood as being careless in how we operate.
   
   We know that risk and reward are intrinsically linked and it is prudent risk management that drives us to unprecedented heights.
   
   
4. Empower People
   We know that tools are only as good as the people using them. We empower people through leadership, knowledge-sharing, mentorship and making risk solutions available to everyone.
