Turning uncertainty into measurable, manageable and strategically useful information What the 2025 Season Showed About Measuring Risk When Hurricane Melissa struck Jamaica in late October 2025, the Government received a payout of US$70.8 million from the regional parametric facility — the largest single payout in that facility’s history — followed by a further US$21.1 million...
Executive Summary Something genuinely encouraging is happening in Caribbean cybersecurity: the region is building watchtowers. Security operations centres are opening, managed detection services are multiplying, telecom providers and security groups are investing in around-the-clock monitoring, and governments are applauding — rightly, because the capability gap these investments address is real. This series argued in...
Executive Summary Eleven articles ago, this series opened with a claim that has since been argued from every angle: cybersecurity is no longer an IT issue — it is an enterprise risk owned in the boardroom, and the difference between believing your controls work and proving they do is the difference on which organisations now...
Executive Summary An annual cyber assessment is a photograph of a moving object. It is taken with care, framed well, and true at the shutter’s click — and the object keeps moving the moment the photographer leaves. Systems change weekly; vendors change quietly; threats change daily; people join, move and leave every month. Every discipline...
Executive Summary Across nine articles, this series has argued for independent evidence: assessments that examine, tests that prove, boards that verify. This tenth article confronts the uncomfortable place where most of that good work goes to die — the findings tracker. Every organisation that has ever commissioned an assessment owns one: a spreadsheet or register...
Executive Summary The previous article in this series examined the sector where trust is the product. This one is for everyone else — the distributors and manufacturers whose ERP systems move goods across islands, the hotels and attractions on which whole economies balance, the utilities and telecoms whose product is availability itself, and the...
Executive Summary Every industry has cyber risk. Financial services has something more: an industry whose entire product is trust. A distributor that loses a week of operations loses a week of revenue; a bank, credit union or insurer that loses its members’ confidence can lose the institution — because in finance, the crisis of systems...
Executive Summary Ask any Caribbean board what cyber scenario it fears most and the answer arrives without hesitation: ransomware. The fear is rational. A successful ransomware event is not an IT incident; it is a full business interruption with a criminal counterparty attached — systems encrypted, operations halted, data stolen for a second round...
Executive Summary Somewhere in the Caribbean this week, an executive will approve a payment for a “penetration test,” receive a hundred-page PDF full of colour-coded severity scores, file it with satisfaction — and remain exactly as exposed as before. What was purchased was almost certainly a vulnerability scan: a legitimate, useful, automated exercise that is...
Executive Summary For the first time in the history of the profession, internal auditors worldwide are subject to a mandatory, subject-specific standard for how cybersecurity must be assessed. The Institute of Internal Auditors issued the Cybersecurity Topical Requirement in February 2025 as the first Topical Requirement under the Global Internal Audit Standards, and it...
