Our approach Effective risk management is about empowering decision-making within the organisation Protiviti’s Technology Risk Management and Governance team helps organisations implement sustainable risk management approaches that enable them to identify risks and quantify the potential impacts on both IT and the wider business. Our professionals work with you to implement processes for identifying potential risks at an early stage, quantifying the potential impact on the organisation as a whole, and designing controls as required to mitigate risk levels appropriately. We work with you to build risk management mechanisms that help you understand the risks to your organisation and their consequential impacts. We also help integrate the wider business into the risk mitigation strategy for IT. An improved understanding of risk can help IT increase the level of service provided to the business and the CIO to justify the investments required to implement strategic remediation solutions.

Enhanced reporting increases the organisation’s ability to anticipate potential IT failures and perform a root-cause analysis to identify the control failures behind service outages, leading to a reduction in recurrences.
