Connect technology exposure with business oversight

IT and cyber risk management examines how technology failures and security threats could affect an organisation’s objectives and operations. It links those exposures with safeguards, ownership and treatment decisions.

Technical findings can be difficult to prioritise when they are disconnected from business impact, affected suppliers and management responsibilities. Risk owners need a framework for recording decisions and following remediation.

How does iGRCs support this work?

Describe exposure in business context

Record threats, affected assets and potential consequences. Use assessments that make sense to both technical and business owners.

Connect safeguards with evidence

Link controls, assessment results and relevant documents to the risks they address. Retain the basis for reviews and decisions.

Include events and third parties

Bring incidents, supplier concerns and corrective actions into the wider view of technology risk.

How does IT risk management differ from vulnerability scanning?

Vulnerability scanning identifies technical weaknesses in systems. IT risk management considers the business implications, ownership, response and acceptance of exposure. Scanning results can inform a GRC process without the GRC platform itself performing the scan.

Which requirements are relevant?

Your assessments may be organised around an applicable security standard, customer assurance criteria or internal policy. Any claimed coverage or certification outcome depends on the defined scope, implementation and independent assessment where required.

Frequently asked questions

Does iGRCs replace a security monitoring tool?

The solution provides a management framework for risk, controls, incidents and evidence. Specific detection, scanning and response tools should be assessed separately.

Can supplier security risks be included?

Yes. Relevant supplier assessments, incidents and actions can inform the same connected risk framework.
