Frequently Asked Questions

What is a risk assessment consultant?

A risk assessment consultant evaluates where an organization may be exposed to regulatory, operational, financial, technology, vendor, or compliance risks. For regulated financial businesses, this often includes reviewing policies, controls, documentation, workflows, product risks, and evidence of implementation. Fraxtional then translates findings into prioritized remediation steps that leadership can use for audits, board reporting, sponsor bank reviews, investor diligence, and ongoing program improvement.
