Development of a Cloud-Based Risk Management and Assessment System for Critical Infrastructure Safety

The client is experiencing difficulties in maintaining compliant and timely risk assessment workflows across multiple operational sites. Existing legacy systems lack scalability, streamline workflows, and provide real-time visibility into incident events and risk levels, leading to potential safety hazards and regulatory non-compliance.

A large enterprise managing complex industrial operations, such as a nuclear facility or a national energy provider, requiring robust risk assessment and safety compliance workflows.

• Develop a scalable, cloud-based web application for comprehensive risk assessment and management tailored to critical infrastructure environments.
• Enable real-time filtering, evaluation, and management of operational events across multiple sites or units.
• Facilitate seamless collaboration among risk control experts, managers, and monitoring personnel with role-based access controls.
• Implement automated risk calculation algorithms and decision-support features to identify high-risk events promptly.
• Integrate with existing proprietary systems to allow import/export of event data and risk assessments.
• Deliver the solution within a tight two-month timeline, ensuring high quality and system stability.

• Event registration module supporting categorization based on location and event type
• Role-based user access: Risk control experts, risk management specialists, observers, with specific permissions
• Support for three event categories: initiating events, mitigation system barriers, and event categorization based on location
• Risk evaluation mechanisms including automated risk scoring algorithms and manual Yes/No question-based assessments
• Visualization dashboards for analyzing event data and risk trends over user-defined periods
• Risk severity and level assignment based on preset parameters and calculations
• Automated calculations for risk level assessment via integrated algorithms, with configurable parameters
• Workflow for detailed event impact analysis: entering event details, impact assessment, selecting safe elements, and setting degradation descriptions
• Reporting features for comprehensive incident and risk overview

• Import of event data from external systems via Excel files or APIs
• Synchronization with proprietary risk calculation algorithms
• Deployment of an emulator to verify seamless integration post-launch

• System scalability to support multiple operational sites and high volume of event data
• High availability with 99.9% uptime
• Security measures compliant with industry standards for sensitive operational data
• Performance optimized to deliver risk assessment results within seconds
• Easy maintainability with simplified architecture suitable for quick updates

The deployment of this cloud-based risk management system is projected to significantly improve risk detection and response times, thereby reducing potential safety incidents and regulatory penalties. It aims to provide comprehensive, real-time oversight of all operational events, enhancing decision-making, operational safety, and compliance. The streamlined workflows and automated risk assessments are expected to enable the client to maintain safety standards efficiently, with an anticipated rapid deployment timeline of just two months.
