Technology Risk Management and Compliance

As an IT Leader you need to know the risks that your organisation faces, whether they affect the current state, or any planned strategies. You must also identify, assess and manage the risks associated with the technology in use to avoid any adverse effects on business operations and objectives.

Technology risk is wide and varied.

It can include:

  • Security risks such as data breaches, malicious cyberattacks, phishing emails and insider risk
  • Infrastructure risks such as hardware and software failure, outdated equipment and unsupported software, and IT Systems that fail to adequately support operations
  • Emerging technology risks associated with Artificial intelligence and machine learning
  • Environmental risks such as fires, cyclones or floods and its impact on risks related to ensuring the continuous availability of IT services and systems

At PTS we help enterprise IT leaders to understand the risks that they face, determine appropriate mitigation, and to implement any necessary changes. Whether it be from an organisational standpoint to determine where technology can be leveraged to mitigate business risks, or risks with the technology itself.
