With an eye on the recent events, it may be time to add new risks to your risk registers. One that should already be on your risk register is currency fluctuation. There are well-known ways to mitigate currency risks. Another more recent risk is the new tariffs imposed on China, Canada, and Mexico by the US Government. There is a risk from both the original US tariffs and the retaliatory tariffs that could be imposed. These can affect the cost of delivering a product while only being paid the contracted rate. Think about what could happen if your bill for AWS US regions or Canadian regions suddenly goes up by 25%. The final risk to consider is the ability to do business in certain regions. Ontario’s Doug Ford has said that US companies will be banned from provincial government contracts. It is not clear if these are for new contracts or if it will affect existing contracts as well. This could also spread to other regions or the Canadian Federal government. (https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5y7626l610o)
