Abstract:
Risk IT is a new management framework from ISACA, the international IT professional organization that developed the COBIT IT control framework. Risk IT is a scenario-based, event-driven framework that features an illustrative business process model and benchmarking tools. It was developed to address the growing market attention of IT risk management and to raise awareness of its essential role in enterprise governance. Its purpose is to fill the gap between detailed frameworks that cover service management, security, project management, etc., and broad enterprise risk management frameworks such as COSO ERM, ISO31000, AS/NZS 4360, and ARMS. Risk IT is expected to become the de facto worldwide standard for IT risk management. It is likely be as significant for IT risk management as the COBIT framework has been for IT controls. Leading organizations have already begun harmonizing their IT risk management programs with Risk IT to be seen by regulators and auditors as better conforming to leading practice and industry standards.
The presenter, Laurence J Best, served as an Expert Reviewer during development of the Risk IT framework. The presentation will address the major features of the Risk IT framework and will provide general guidelines for implementing an IT risk and compliance program that leverages the advanced IT risk management practices of Risk IT.
