Cyber Strategy & Transformation
Our IT Risk Team is ready to assist you!
The increased use of IT comes with an increased set of risks. Effective risk management is the key to identifying, managing and lowering your IT and, ultimately, business risks.
Challenges
Data loss, ransomware or a failure of critical operational technology – where to start?
Navigating the IT risk landscape often throws up various questions, such as:
- Which rules are we required to comply with?
- How do we implement technical and organisational measures appropriate to the risk?
- Which framework(s) should be used as a baseline?
- Which level of maturity is appropriate seen from a legal, business and consumer perspective?
- What is our current security and risk management maturity?
- Which initiatives are necessary to achieve the desired level of maturity?
- What are our risk profile and risk tolerance?
- What are the risks associated with the use of external technology suppliers, i.e. cloud solutions?
- How do we address IT and OT risks in our risk management framework?
- What are the potential consequences and benefits of cybersecurity maturity?
- How do we identify, manage and decrease risks.
IT risk management can assist in addressing these challenges and ensure that clients can rapidly get visibility of their risks and prioritise their security efforts and spending, increasing ROI on risk mitigation and ensuring compliance against requirements, such as the GDPR, NIS Directive, PCI-DSS and CMMC.
Our approach
We have an established approach for assisting clients in understanding the risks they are currently facing and building risk management processes to adapt to future risks.
Our common approach is split across five distinct phases where we:
-
Confirm the scope
We understand your objectives and develop an assessment approach and corresponding scope to satisfy your needs.
-
Plan and initiate
We develop a plan relevant to your needs utilising industry frameworks (including ISO 27001, NIST, CMMC and CIS 20), our own best practices or your existing processes.
-
Tailor assessment or framework
We establish an assessment and analysis framework to be used for targeting your key requirements.
-
Perform an assessment
We determine the current state of your IT risk management and/or security controls. We do so through a number of different types of assessments, selecting the most appropriate one together with you.
-
Response planning
We summarise the results of selected assessment(s) and create a roadmap to assist you in remediating the gaps and/or risks identified.
