The Model's strategy is mainly based on the following stages:

  • Analysis and Evaluation of Risk and Event Management Strategies
  • Design and implementation of controls
  • Controls monitoring and compliance

  • Types of risks to be identified
  • Techniques for risk identification
  • Risk assessment
  • Strategy (risk appetite, tolerance, and capacity).
  • Internal control components

The Model's management is based on best practices and is carried out through the three lines of defense model. All the areas that makeup Indeval and BMV Group intervene to optimally mitigate risks, providing the market with greater security and operational stability.

The Risk Model is continuously managed by all levels and areas that make up S.D. Indeval, adopting and applying the guidelines established in Indeval's Risk Framework.
The result of the management, known as the operational risk profile (event statistics, heat map, indicators, and action plans), is reported to Senior Management and the Board of Directors, which issue their feedback and action plans for critical events and risks. The rest of the events and risks are dealt with by the Directors and personnel of the first and second defense lines.

Third line of defense: Internal and External Auditing

Business Continuity Management

S.D. Indeval's Business Continuity Management is the company's strategic and tactical ability to plan and respond to incidents and business interruptions to continue critical operations at a pre-defined acceptable level.

This management is based on the international standard ISO 22301 (Society Security - Business Continuity Management Systems - Requirements). This standard provides a widely accepted reference framework, taking into account the best practices of the Disaster Recovery International Institute (DRII).

To have an effective BCP, S.D. Indeval periodically exercises its strategies through different types of tests, including clients' participation. Likewise, it trains and makes all its collaborators aware, so they recognize their roles and responsibilities if the plan is activated and reflect on Business Continuity's importance within the company.

Disaster Recovery (DRP)

S.D Indeval has a Disaster Recovery Plan for those cases where the contingency is related to technological infrastructure issues (hardware, software, or telecommunications failures). For this purpose, S.D Indeval has implemented its Alternative Data Center where, in case of this type of scenario, the change of the productive operation to this alternative center is made and thus continue with the critical operation maintaining a minimum affectation of service.
