Job Title

Many organizations are aware of the need to discuss and assess risk but struggle to do so in a systematic and repeatable way.
Many risks are identified solely at an IT level and are not properly escalated to inform the necessary stakeholders.

Our Advice

Critical Insight

When building out a risk management program, many organizations focus on how they perform their assessments and which analytical technique is used, while lacking many of the support systems.
Build upon existing processes by establishing a clear risk escalation path while regularly reporting on risk.
Allow stakeholders to be well informed on security risks, giving them the opportunity to make knowledgeable decisions.

Impact and Result

Build a risk governance structure that makes it clear how security risks can be escalated within the organization and who has final decision making on certain risks.
Don’t concern yourself solely with the measurement approaches to risk management – a clearly established governance structure can benefit any organization, regardless of the level of analysis that takes place.
Use Info-Tech’s templates to define clear responsibilities and accountabilities and to ensure that risks are presented effectively to the organization.
