Hi

* strategic, for example a competitor coming on to the market
* compliance, for example responding to the introduction of new health and safety legislation
* financial, for example non-payment by a customer or increased interest charges on a business loan
* operational, for example the breakdown or theft of key equipment

These categories are not rigid and some parts of your business may fall into more than one category. The risks attached to data protection, for example, could be considered when reviewing both your operations and your business' compliance.

Thanks
