Sydney, Australia – October 29th 2018: Protecht, a global risk management solutions provider, has been engaged by the National Rugby League (NRL) to introduce innovative software to help manage its risk and protect the future of its iconic game.
The Protecht software, known as Protecht.ERM and branded as SHIELD within the NRL, accommodates the NRL’s existing risk assessment methodology whilst also enabling it to link back to a ‘central risk and control library’. The software also allows risks to be assessed across multiple departments within the NRL and then aggregated through comprehensive reports and dashboards.
“Risk management is a critical component of decision making for all companies and particularly so for high profile organisations such as the NRL,” said David Bergmark, CEO and co-founder of Protecht.
“We are proud to work with the NRL which has taken important steps to intensify its risk management focus and discipline. By working in close partnership we have built and streamlined the NRL’s risk assessment processes to take it to a whole new level.”
The partnership with Protecht has enabled the NRL to identify, assess and mitigate risk in a more structured and practical manner, but importantly, allowed the executive team to track progress and assess the impact of controls.
“Protecht has given us a system that allows us to quantify risk across the full spectrum of the game,” said Luke Sullivan, National Rugby League’s Work, Health and Safety Manager. “It makes risk measurable and provides us with a clear net risk position.”
The NRL also says Protecht has helped it better understand and quantify its strategic risk particularly related to the game’s growth from grassroots to Telstra Premiership.
