Every organisation regardless of size or sector faces a range of IT risks which should be managed. At the most basic level, companies must ensure their IT systems have the necessary controls in place to protect data, to prevent breaches and to ensure service continuity in the event of IT systems disruptions or failures.
At the other end of the spectrum, financial services organisations and other regulated entities must be able to satisfy regulators, supervisory bodies and investors that IT risk is properly controlled and managed in accordance with international industry practice.
