by Michael Rasmussen, Paul Stamp

with Tom Pohlmann, Natalie Lambert

Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Increased regulation and more stringent contractual obligations have resulted in greater accountability for corporate officers when it comes to managing risk in their organization. Companies are facing pressure to adopt a comprehensive approach to risk management, and nowhere is this more evident than in the IT department. IT risk and compliance are central to many organizations' enterprise risk management strategies, and this in turn is having a profound effect on the way IT departments approach their responsibilities and interact with others in the organization. The role of IT in enterprise risk management is twofold. First, IT has to manage risk and compliance within the IT department. Second, IT becomes an enabler for enterprise risk management by leveraging technology to proactively monitor and manage broader business risks and compliance.
