Making the Shift to Integrated Risk Management
With the dynamics of new technology and rapidly evolving risk landscape, the need for a sound cybersecurity strategy has moved from IT to the C-level and board. The lack of compliance and cyber risk initiatives, as well as siloed governance, has had critical impact to the bottom line. Clients increasingly need a more integrated approach to address compliance, risk and governance, not to mention how to manage third parties.
RSI’s Integrated Risk Management combines processes and technology to help clients make better informed decisions, gain visibility into their unique risks and broadens the focus beyond compliance.
Adoption of an effective integrated risk management approach in your organization starts with people and their ability to recognize that cybersecurity is no longer just an IT function, but a fundamental element of every business operation they touch. Furthermore, the risk management becomes a part of every company strategy and how risk plays out in all initiatives. Lastly, working with a chief information security officer to help define effective goals, and utilize data security strategies to help identify and measure progress.
Gartner defines Integrated Risk Management as a set of practices and processes supported by a risk-aware culture and enabling technologies, that improves decision making and performance
through an integrated view of how well an organization manages its unique set of risks.
Under the Gartner definition, IRM has certain attributes:
1. Strategy: Enablement and implementation of a framework, including performance
improvement through effective governance and risk ownership
2. Assessment: Identification, evaluation and prioritization of risks
3. Response: Identification and implementation of mechanisms to mitigate risk
4. Communication and reporting: Provision of the best or most appropriate means to track
and inform stakeholders of an enterprise’s risk response
5. Monitoring: Identification and implementation of processes that methodically track
governance objectives, risk ownership/accountability, compliance with policies and
decisions that are set through the governance process, risks to those objectives and the
effectiveness of risk mitigation and controls
6. Technology: Design and implementation of an IRM solution (IRMS) architecture
To understand the full scope of risk, organizations require a comprehensive view across all
business units and risk and compliance functions, as well as key business partners, suppliers and
outsourced entities. Developing this understanding requires risk and security leaders to address
all six IRM attributes.
