Information Risk Management

IT Governance and Information Risk Managementare synonymous… from a certain point of view!

Risk is “the chance of something happening that will have an impact on objectives” (AS/NZS 4360)

Risk management is “the culture, processes and structure which come together to optimise the management of potential opportunities and adverse threats” (AS/NZS 4360)

IT Governance is “A management framework which ensures the delivery of expected benefits of IT in a controlled manner” (Poole V)

Information Risk Management

Risk Management can be practically applied as a comprehensive Governance approach…

Risks should be stated in terms of organisational objectives

Treatment of risks should comprise a combination of structure, processes, projects and specific actions

In the long term, appropriate structure and process maturity should be the goal

Information Risk Management

A suggested distinction between inherent and residual risk…

Inherent Risk is the chance of something happening that will have an impact on objectives in the absence of structure and processes to optimise opportunities and threats

Residual Risk is the chance of something happening that will have an impact on objectives despite the structure and processes that are in place to optimise opportunities and threats

Information Risk Management

The Seven Inherent Risks

Inherent Risk Key Question

Dependence on ITHow dependent am I on IT for the achievement of business objectives?

IT Skills and ResourcesWill the skills and resources required by my IT processes be available?

IT ReliabilityAre the information systems I will require to meet my objectives reliable?

Changes in ITWill organisational change result in high levels of change to systems?

External ITWill I be dependent on external parties for the achievement of my IT objectives?

Business FocusIs it important for the IT function to be closely aligned to business strategy?

Information AssetsDo we have valuable information assets that need to be protected?

Conclusions

Information Risk Management and IT Governance can be considered synonymous, depending on your point of view and approach

Process maturity improvement programmes can (and should?) be driven from a risk management based approach

Focus of relevant parties should be as follows:- IT Management on High Residual Risks- Internal Audit on Mature Processes- Risk Management on the Risk Management Process- External Audit on Internal Audit’s work
