Technology risk: are your IT controls an asset or a liability?
IT controls protect critical areas such as intellectual property, customer data and employee privacy. They also ensure the business has the right balance of confidentiality, integrity and availability.
Executives need to understand IT risk along with the other risks facing the business, and be able to answer the following questions:
- Where are your most significant IT risks?
- Who is responsible for managing them — the CFO? IT? Internal audit?
- How are you responding to these risks?
