proTECT

Business risks can emerge from many different areas and can cause significant financial and reputational damage. Our proTECT gap analysis tool focuses on the key risks which can affect most businesses.

proTECT is the only risk assessment tool which can provide companies with a comprehensive review of legal compliance risks.

Using the knowledge of the many former regulators working within DLA Piper and the compliance expertise we have developed from work for many clients, proT-E-C-T operates in four distinct stages:

  • TARGET – we identify the risks most likely to affect your business or those most likely to cause significant cost or consequence
  • EVALUATE – we assess the likelihood of actual or potential risks within identified areas through the use of our innovative anonymous employee survey tool
  • COMPARE – we show you in easy-to-read reports the level of risk in different parts of your operations and allow you to benchmark performance against other companies
  • TRANSFORM – after analysing the results of the review, we will consult with you and make recommendations for reducing and monitoring your risks

Our team is regularly instructed by large multinationals to conduct internal investigations into allegations of misconduct and to review companies’ compliance systems. To allow us to provide best advice, we monitor continually regulatory enforcement trends across the world through our extensive network of local legal offices (we have 67 offices in 29 countries).

The DLA Piper investigations and compliance team comprises experienced corporate and criminal defence lawyers and former prosecutors who have considerable experience working at senior level for criminal and financial market regulators. This allows us to provide our clients with a valuable insight into the expectations of regulators in relation to corporate compliance systems.
