Technology effectively permeates the operations of an entire
organization and therefore technology risks are woven throughout a
business and must be addressed as a whole. The process of effective
technology risk management begins with risk identification in the
context of an organization's overall business strategy.
Understanding the role that technology plays in enabling core
business operations establishes the framework for understanding
where relevant risks lie.
A technology risk assessment begins with a company's strategic
plan, recognizing the role that technology plays, and the critical
systems that gather, process and store information. The next step
involves assessing the relative importance of the various systems,
databases and applications based on the nature of their function,
how critical the data is that they support, and their
importance to core business operations.
By understanding the role that technology plays in supporting
various business functions, management is in a better position to
determine the relative importance of these functions and prioritize
the systems, applications and data involved. The process of
understanding how information flows through a company, and where
data is entered, transferred and stored will also reveal areas of
potential vulnerability.
