LSA Consultants
Multi-Disciplinary Business Resiliency

Modern businesses need to thrive in a competitive and changing risk environment more so than ever today. Risks have become the subject of increasing attention as part of corporate governance. This is because of the realization that these risks have the potential to disrupt an enterprise’s pursuit of its goals significantly.

Resilience management has proven to be most effective for most firms trying to mitigate risks. The risk-based approach enables both SMEs and MNCs to optimize their limited budgets to best tackle the most threatening risk to their business. Invariably, supply chain security, anti-bribery, business continuity, and information security management are all part of the key resilience controls that help to mitigate the risks associated with an enterprise risk management approach. Coordinating these efforts to sustain enterprise resiliency requires a process-oriented approach that can be defined, measured, and actively managed. To further capitalise on this investment, many organisations are improving their brand and corporate governance posture by benchmarking their enterprise resilience processes to ISO (International Standards Organisation) requirements and standards.

As an expert in enterprise resiliency, LSA Consultants provide clients with consultancy for ISO resilience standards implementation relating to Anti- Bribery (ISO 37001), Information Security (ISO 27001), Business Continuity (ISO 22301) and Supply Chain Security (ISO 28000).

Our mission is to help our clients turn adversity into opportunity

The company offers a modular approach that encompasses gap analysis, training, and consultancy to create resiliency. With the modular approach, LSA provides organizations with a flexible and effective way to meet their enterprise resilience goal within resource limitations. LSA undertakes a risk-based approach to investigate its clients’ initial vulnerabilities and after that, prioritize the implementation of control measures. LSA delivers an end-to-end service to guide its clients through their projects until they reach a compliant stage and are awarded certification by an external certifying body.

The company possesses a professional working relationship with certifying agencies and understands the resilience management system requirements of the audit teams to achieve certification. LSA conducts regular alignment meetings with accrediting bodies to test theory, compliance requirements, and improve processes and the application of ISO standards across a variety of industries. The company leverages the experience of its consultants who have accrued knowledge of operations, priorities, threats, and risks relating to key resilience areas.

LSA differentiates itself by having a holistic consultative approach that recommends enhancement to processes that are cost-effective yet practical. Most of the competition is single disciplined. In contrast, LSA’s team of consultants is multi-disciplined and can add value in many areas.

LSA has served clients from large MNCs, government-linked companies and SMEs across a broad spectrum of industries including oil and gas, aerospace and aviation, pharmaceuticals, telecommunications and, chemical and consumer electronics. All of LSA’s clients have cleared their external ISO resilience standard certification audit and achieved certification in their first attempt. Many of LSA’s clients were the first in their industry to attain certification to ISO 37001, the latest international ISO standard on the anti-bribery management system.

Traditionally, investment in ISO resilience standards adoption has been held back because some businesses tend to view ISO Resilience Standards implementation as a cost. LSA provides a different perspective for numerous organizations that now consider investing in ISO resilience standards adoption as a means to achieve collateral benefits and revenue enhancement. “We intend to create a paradigm shift by helping businesses understand that investing in ISO related resilience standards should not just be a customer-driven requirement but a competitive advantage and market differentiator,” says Max Goh, Managing Director and co-founder of LSA Consultants.

As a leading global consultancy with a proven track record, LSA will continue to leverage on its expertise and holistic consultancy approach to help its clients to “future-proof” their business. LSA’s focus in the next 12 to 24 months will be to continue to help our current and future clients to protect their business, shareholder value as well as enhance the value of their brand. “Our mission is to help our clients turn adversity into opportunity,” says Luke Simmons, Director and co-founder of LSA Consultants.
