Risk Management
What is the IQRM (Intelligence Quotient for Risk Management™)?
The IQRM™ is a quantifiable risk assessment tool consisting of a systematic method to better understand the risk issues facing your organization. It also benchmarks performance against ideal industry standards and facilitates the design of risk control and mitigation strategies. Each module has been crafted by one or more Subject Matter Experts.

Scoring Process
The IQRM is designed to evaluate your organization’s management of risk. The scoring system determines effectiveness through the assessment of policies, procedures and controls.
When evaluating risks based on the criteria contained in the Risk Check Survey, you should consider the following in determining effectiveness:
- Activities – tasks and actions that create or implement risk management policies, practices, procedures and programs.
- Behaviors – actions and conduct that affect performance – positively or negatively.
- Internal Assessments – risks that have the potential to cause loss, peril, or vulnerability; or that create opportunities for organizational success.
- Internal Controls – internal processes, assessments and framework for ensuring compliance with program goals.
- Outcomes – qualitative and quantitative measurements and metrics that assure the achievement of risk management and organizational goals and objectives.
The IQRM, as part of the Beyond Insurance Process, is taken seriously by the underwriting community because it documents an understanding of risk and activities that improve your organization’s risk profile thereby reducing claim frequency and severity.
