Purpose:

Content: The purpose of the report was to set out the current Strategic Risk Register for the Council.   Councillor Mike Evemy, Leader of the Council,  introduced the report  and noted that the Strategic Risk Register presented had been reviewed by the Corporate Leadership Team (CLT) during Q4 of the financial year.   Members received the Strategic Risk Register alongside the Council’s performance and financial reports and noted that it had previously been considered by the Audit and Governance Committee earlier in the month. The report highlighted key strategic risks, including preparedness for civil contingencies and the robustness of business continuity arrangements, which were confirmed to be under active review and update. Members also noted the escalation of a new strategic risk relating to compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), following review by the Corporate Leadership Team, and that further mitigation work was ongoing to achieve compliance.   Cabinet REVIEWED and NOTED the Strategic Risk Register and mitigation measures.
