IT professionals bear the responsibility of safeguarding their organizations from IT threats. Establishing the right set of Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) plays a critical role in preventing potential risks from halting business operations. But many IT departments aren’t sure of where to get started.

This white paper provides you with a foundational understanding of KRIs and discusses how to overcome the common challenges of implementing, managing, and maintaining KRIs. You’ll also gain an understanding of the different kinds of indicators, what they measure, their purpose and the intended audience. By the time you’re done reading, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge and tools to get started with or optimize your KRI program.

Emerging technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) have changed how organizations collect, process, and use data—creating more vulnerabilities for sensitive data to be misused. Data privacy laws have been designed to protect this information, but these changing regulatory requirements present IT professionals, like you, with new privacy and compliance challenges.

In this white paper you’ll discover actionable steps to build a strong and defensible position to protect your organization’s most important assets.

The world’s most influential businesses prioritize IT security, risk management, compliance, and assurance. To do this, they use powerful governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) software—it’s the only way to collect, operationalize, and report on the massive amounts of data now common within organizations.

• Review program resources and ensure the right ones are involved.
• Use automation to perform more assessments and manage remediations.
• Communicate effectively about SLAs to minimize service disruptions.

To optimize business performance, organizations need GRC technologies that provide visibility into internal and external risks. But technology on its own isn’t enough! Organizations need to strategically marry their methodology, content framework, and use cases, with the technology in order to build a truly impactful GRC program.

Download this white paper to discover the most critical factors of a successful roll-out based on analysis of hundreds of GRC implementations. You'll also learn:

• What factors to consider when choosing the right methodology and risk-rating system for your organization.
• How to choose your IT risk management use cases based on the appropriate frameworks.
• What to look for in a tool that supports your methodology, content, and use cases.

The economic fallout from COVID-19 has led to global supply chain uncertainty. Partnered with a largely remote workforce, having robust and resilient third-party risk management processes is more important than ever before. Automating and centralizing vendor risk management (VRM) activities can assist in keeping up with increased scope and scrutiny.But what features should you prioritize to make a significant impact quickly?

This checklist outlines 15 key features to look for in a VRM solution that will help mitigate the cost of managing third-party risk and improve due diligence, including:

• vendor risk assessment workflows
• vendor engagement
• risk reporting requirements
• architecture & infrastructure

Cybersecurity is a top concern for boards—meaning CISOs finally have a seat at the table. But, information security and risk management leaders are expected to flawlessly managing hundreds of tools while foreseeing risk and compliance issues, and have the ability to explain complex issues to non-technical board members.

Download this eBook for practical tips on how to communicate with the C-suite and board to provide them with visibility into your IT risk and compliance posture. You’ll also discover strategies to win more budget and capacity for your cybersecurity function. In this eBook, you’ll discover:

• The top six challenges facing CISOs today.
• What’s defining our current cyber-risk landscape.
• Strategies to win more budget and capacity for your cybersecurity function.
• Common questions to anticipate from the board (and how to respond to them).

Having the right set of key risk indicators (KRIs) is critical to aligning your IT risk posture to organizational performance. KRIs allow you to anticipate and quickly respond to issues before they disrupt operations, breach sensitive data, or cause financial damage. But many IT teams aren’t sure of where to start when building out KRIs.

Download this white paper for an overview of IT KRIs to help build your roadmap. You’ll discover:

• The differences between KPIs, KRIs, and KCIs
• How to overcome challenges of implementing and managing KRIs
• 15+ examples of KRIs to start or improve your program

GRC professionals face a risk landscape that is familiar, yet constantly evolving. This state of change is an opportunity to develop new processes, implement new technology, and address process issues.

This white paper examines key opportunities to leverage change—both from a risk and an organizational performance management perspective. It also provides you with a step-by-step approach to build integrated, data-driven governance, risk management, and compliance processes that deliver real value to your organization.

Emerging technologies are transforming the way that organizations collect, process, and use information. However, solutions such as robotic process automation (RPA), the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and machine and deep learning have also created opportunities for sensitive data to be misused. While there are laws designed to protect this information, the evolving regulatory requirements present IT professionals, like yourself, with new privacy and compliance challenges.

In this white paper, you will discover how to build a strong regulatory data governance model, the consequences your organization could face if it fails to implement regulatory data privacy controls, and how technology can be the key to a well-rounded protection model. You’ll walk away with actionable steps you can take to build a strong and defensible position to protect your organization’s most important assets.

In today's unpredictable landscape, risk management is top of mind for every organization. It should also be the north star of today’s information security teams as the days of simply being compliance-focused are behind us. But, how can cybersecurity functions shift their efforts amidst today’s new challenges and the persistent pain of resource-strapped teams?

Join this 60-minute, CPE-approved webinar to discover how risk fits into the context of cybersecurity and how automation can help drive your team's value to the business, especially during this unprecedented time.
