Definition, Vision and Mission
Insider threat involves the exploitation of privileged access, unintentionally or maliciously, to sensitive and mission critical assets and people within the organisation and its external partner, to create damage.
Insider risk management starts with effective governance and a holistic, enterprise and ecosytem-wide approach to organisational culture and the management of people, security controls and the management of cyber and AI risks, as well as detection and response controls to proactively mitigate and manage emerging threats.
A Commitment to Excellence
Founded in 2026, the United Kingdom Insider Risk Management Collaboration Centre (UKInRM CC) is a not-for-profit entity. We support a U.K. community of skilled practitioners committed to the mission of proactive insider risk management in the face of evolving insider threats.
The UKInRM CC promotes private, public, academic and other stakeholder partnerships to generate and share insightful guidance on insider-related threats and good practices for insider risk management. The UKInRM CC collaborates with other professional bodies, academic researchers and other key stakeholders to provide training and learning, promote knowledge sharing, and augment resources and capabilities offered by vendors to mitigate insider threats to U.K. organisations and critical national infrastructure.
The UKInRM CC fosters collaborative, interdisciplinary and innovative approaches to insider risk management. It seeks to build bridges between multiple security disciplines and with HR, AI, Legal & Regulatory and Supply Chain management professionals. It strives to uncover, develop and promote the evolving best practices needed to deal with a rapidly deteriorating and changing threat environment.
Funded by industry contributions and research grants, we offer a U.K. national and consolidated capability on all matters related to insider risk management. Our services include running workshops and knowledge sharing events with subject matter experts, codifying sector-specific evolving good practices, providing workplace training, undertaking research, and advocating for new initiatives to enhance the U.K.’s collective insider risk management capability.
This work is established on a foundation of information sharing among a trusted community of security, intelligence, and defence professionals.
