Executive Summary

Your Challenge

IT has several challenges when it comes to addressing risk management:

  • Risk is unavoidable. Without a formal program to manage IT risk, you may be unaware of your most severe IT risks.
  • The business could be making decisions that are not informed by risk.
  • Reacting to risks after they occur can be costly and crippling, yet it is one of the most common tactics used by IT departments.

Common Obstacles

Many IT organizations realize these obstacles:

  • IT risks and business risks are often addressed separately, causing inconsistencies in the approach.
  • Security risk receives such a high profile that it often eclipses other important IT risks, leaving the organization vulnerable.
  • Failing to include the business in IT risk management leaves IT leaders too accountable; the business must have accountability as well.

Our Approach

  • Transform your ad hoc IT risk management processes into a formalized, ongoing program and increase risk management
    success.
  • Take a proactive stance against IT threats and vulnerabilities by identifying and assessing IT’s greatest risks before they occur.
