Deloitte named a leader by Gartner in Risk Management Consulting Services Worldwide  

New York, NY, 7 December 2015 – Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited (DTTL) is pleased to announce that Gartner, one of the world's leading information technology research and advisory firms, has named Deloitte a leader positioned highest in execution and furthest in vision for Risk Management Consulting Services in their recently released November 2015 report entitled, Magic Quadrant for Risk Management Consulting Services, Worldwide.

“More than a decade ago, we set out to build the best risk advisory practice in the world,” said Owen Ryan, Global Enterprise Risk Services Business Leader at DTTL. “We believe that the numerous analyst recognitions we’ve accumulated since then, including this latest designation from Gartner, provides independent evidence that we’ve accomplished exactly that.”

Discussing the broader risk landscape, the report notes, “Prevalent digital data and cybersecurity breach issues are resulting in established RM frameworks being tweaked by RM consultants to better support their clients' navigation through digital risks in the organization. Accordingly, Gartner is starting to see that security risk frameworks are starting to evolve as well, to encompass more risk components, such as third-party RM, behavior or culture, and crisis management consulting services.”

“When one of the world’s preeminent analyst firms recognizes Deloitte for its risk advisory practice two years running, we feel that makes a pretty strong statement,” said Henry Ristuccia, Global Governance, Regulatory & Risk Leader at DTTL. “Clients and analysts have repeatedly affirmed that Deloitte stands head and shoulders above the competition.”

Gartner defines risk management (RM) consulting services as the bundle of expert-driven consulting services directed at helping enterprises mitigate the impact of uncertainty on business performance. Management consulting firms offer a variety of RM services, but this Magic Quadrant considers how well those services support corporate governance objectives and how well they integrate with compliance requirements. Gartner evaluates service providers on their Ability to Execute and their Completeness of Vision.
