The Reputational Risk study revealed three key observations concerning
IT s impact on reputational risk.
#1
IT risks have a major impact on a company s
reputation
#2
Companies have rising IT risk concerns related to
emerging technology trends
#3
Companies are integrating IT risk and
reputational risk management, with strongest
focus on threats to data and systems
IT and reputational risk management
and mitigation are… key success
factors of our business and must be
given due emphasis.

International best practice such as ISACA, COSO and ISO31000 clearly
link operational risk to the business objectives BUT most companies still
manage risks based on incurred costs/losses.
ISACA – Information Systems Audit & Control Association
The business risk associated with the use,
ownership, operation, involvement,
influence and adoption of IT within an
enterprise
COSO – Enterprise Risk Management Framework
Enterprise risk management, which
incorporates Information Risk Management,
is defined by COSO as a process, … , to
provide reasonable assurance regarding
the achievement of entity objectives.

ISO 31000
Shifts from an event to the effect risk and risk
management have on an organization’s
objectives ... and put the emphasis squarely on
risk management as a strategic discipline for
making risk-adjusted decisions, rather than a
compliance-based function.

The benefit of this forward looking risk management approach is twofold: it
allows enterprises to anticipate IT risks and keep IT risk management
aligned with Strategic Business Initiatives
  The “Top Down” approach
–  ensures you remain aligned with Strategic Business
Initiatives (SBI), and
–  improves efficiency to do more with less resources
  Root Cause Analysis allows to define leading KRI’s, as
early warning indicators
  Scenario Planning allows to mitigate risks by anticipation
