Testimony issued by the Government Accountability Office with an abstract that begins "From the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, to Hurricane Katrina, homeland security risks vary widely. The nation can neither achieve total security nor afford to protect everything against all risks. Managing these risks is especially difficult in today's environment of globalization, increasing security interdependence, and growing fiscal challenges for the federal government. Broadly defined, risk management is a process that helps policymakers assess risk, strategically allocate finite resources, and take actions under conditions of uncertainty. GAO convened a forum of 25 national and international experts on October 25, 2007, to advance a national dialogue on applying risk management to homeland security. Participants included federal, state, and local officials and risk management experts from the private sector and academia. Forum participants identified (1) what they considered to be effective risk management practices used by organizations from the private and public sectors and (2) key challenges to applying risk management to homeland security and actions that could be taken to address them. Comments from the proceedings do not necessarily represent the views of all participants, the organizations of the participants, or GAO. Participants reviewed a draft of this report and their comments were incorporated, as appropriate."

It is vital to identify and prioritize significant risks and detect the weakest points. Adding other elements to an essential ERM program, such as PESTLE and Porter's Five Forces, treatment plans, scorecards, thethree lines of defense (3LoD) components, and process improvements(Six Sigma, 8D, etc.) significantly increases the ERM success rate. The authors outline a comprehensive strategy for designing and implementing a robust and successful ERM program--that is not just successful in implementation but also in yielding enormous returns for the organizations that implemented this enhanced ERM program.
