Technology Risk Management Services

JamesOD has extensive experience in designing, creating and implementing policies and procedures to minimise risk in your IT department. There are generally six main areas that need to be considered as part of IT Risk Management:

1. Security: Protecting the organisation against viruses, spam, spyware, unauthorised access, intrusion protection and hacking.

2. Compliance: Ensuring the organisation is correctly licenced for all software and complying with legal and regulatory requirements particularly for information retention.

3. Project Control: Ensuring adequate controls over all projects.

4. Business Alignment: Ensuring appropriate IT Governance processes are in place particularly for project approval and reporting to ensure business ownership and control.

5. Operational Continuity: Apart from the day-to-day operation of the IT systems, ensuring a regularly tested DRP is in place, appropriate redundancy is designed into all IT systems and networks, appropriate backups are maintained and tested.

6. People Management: Ensuring appropriate succession planning, key role coverage and separation of duties are maintained.

All of these require dedicated effort to manage and need to be regularly reviewed by an independent party. Without regular review it is easy for critical items to be missed or overlooked. If you have concerns about the completeness or effectiveness of your IT Risk Management process JamesOD Consulting can help by:

Conducting a review of your policies in each area and recommending improvements.
Auditing your procedures for compliance to your policies.
Developing policies and procedure documentation appropriate to your organisation.
