TECHNOLOGY RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK
Being experts in creating a Technology Risk Management (TRM) division in large national and international organizations, r S v p Security Consultants knows how to manage the risk associated with the use of technology. Not every organization has the same tolerance of risk. That is why our security experts will interview multiple layers within the organization to understand what your acceptable risk level is. Once the risk level is understood, this proven TRM framework can be adopted by any industry. It is based off of a very simple but effective continuing process. Assess the risk, Evaluate the risk, Address the risk, Monitor the risk, and finally repeat. In the evaluation process, we target the highest risk, greatest return issues.
As important it is to have risk assessments done, inserting the concept of risk management within the SDLC creates a big bang for the buck. By strategically inserting security check points along the way of development, you reduce the over all cost of your product or service because risks are addressed in the conception and development stage instead of the testing and pre-production phase. A point where it may be too late to fix.
Technology automates so much of business today. While the benefits of technology are clear, managing the risks that can be introduced to the business from process, policy and technology failures is not easily understood and can have a serious impact in terms of achieving compliance with regulations, protecting brand reputation and ensuring overall corporate performance.
Ensuring that information technology resources are properly aligned to business strategy and need while managing a multitude of technology risks has become increasingly more difficult and requires an holistic approach where the interdependencies between technology risk and business performance can be easily understood and managed.
To date, organizations have had to rely on a fragmented and disparate approach to managing technology risk. Reliance on a siloed IT risk management approach is not only costly and inefficient, it lacks the contextual understanding of the real impacts that failures in technology processes and policies have on the business.
Let r S v p Security Consultants help you take this holistic approach to IT Risk Management. We can show you how to align your IT policies, risk and operations management with corporate business initiatives and strategy.
VULNERABILITY MANAGEMENT AND MITIGATION
Many times, organizations think that if they patch to Microsoft's monthly patch update they have a Vulnerability Management program. Although that is a step that must be taken, it is by far not finished there. Many vulnerabilities on a network can't be fixed with a patch. They can be a configuration error which could even be more dangerous. According to Gartner analysts, "the vulnerability management process includes policy definition, environment baselining, prioritization, shielding, mitigation as well as maintenance and monitoring."
