Who Manages Risk Mitigation?

"Recent research shows that organizations taking a balanced approach to IT risk management maturity have fewer incidents-but also stronger overall IT and business performance-than their competitors." (IBMGlobal Technology Services-January 2009)

According to a "Risk Management Standard", published by AIRMIC, ALARM, IRM: in 2002

Risk management protects and adds value to the organisation and its stakeholders through supporting the organisation's objectives by:

• providing a framework for an organisation that enables future activity to take place in a consistent and controlled manner;
• improving decision making, planning and prioritisation by comprehensive and structured understanding of business activity, volatility and project opportunity/threat;
• contributing to more efficient use/allocation of capital and resources within the organisation;
• reducing volatility in the non essential areas of the business;
• protecting and enhancing assets and company image;
• developing and supporting people and the organisation's knowledge base, and optimising operational efficiency.

Can you tick off all of those items with your risk management plan?
