Choosing not to engage and register digital risk management as its own practice often leads to:

  • A siloed perspective of risk in your organization.
  • Gaps that can inhibit the success of your organization's digital transformation initiatives.
  • An outdated perspective of IT and InfoTec being solely responsible for digital risk.

Taking a proactive approach to addressing and developing a plan for digital risk management leads to:

  • Increased collaboration between the different risk practices within your organization.
  • Clear links between current and future digital transformation initiatives and the potential risks that may impact their success.
  • A diversified ownership model for digital risk that spans the organization.
