Risk Management and Avoidance

Helping IT leaders ensure their business is protected against operating threats & ensuring compliance

 

With IT fast becoming the foundation of many company’s value and go to market strategies, IT risks are just as quickly becoming key business risks. Whether that translates as service stability, security threats or regulation around how data is managed, such as GDPR, it now has the potential to dramatically affect an organisation’s fortunes.

With the recent malware attacks against computers, risk and security have been elevated to boardroom topics in many companies. IT leaders are finding themselves explaining that these threats are actually an opportunistic consequence of key topics that relate to technical debt and the age of the systems being compromised -what Coeus calls 'Currency'. If boards are truly serious about managing risks to the business, they should prioritise Currency works (view our recent blog).

IT leaders also need to look at the bigger picture: risk management is a whole ecosystem task; having strong passwords means nothing if someone can walk straight into one of a company’s buildings without being challenged.

Each industry also has it’s own set of regulations, many of which contain similar concepts but adapted to meet industry specific threats.

We work in some of the most regulated markets in the world, ensuring our customers are protected against operating threats within their industry and ensuring compliance to avoid reputational and financial reparations.

We regularly work with our clients to help them understand their current state in terms of key risks and define a working roadmap to manage and mitigate. We have risk as a key element in our SIAM models and specialise in areas such as GDPR.
