Information Technology Risk Management

The need to constantly evaluate the security measures implemented in our mechanized operational processes arises from constant change in technology and the incursion of new techniques for cyber crimes that put our operation at risk. It is important to have the right equipment to carry out, these and other evaluations, which provide us with the necessary information to protect us from any adverse events.

That is why, with each update and / or integration of a new program, it is recommended that the company conduct a risk assessment. The scope of the risk analysis will depend on the needs of the company, this can be a strategic, operational, financial and / or Compliance. In the attached image, I share a general model of risk assessment:

Legislation to protect assets from cybercrime

The availability of technological resources in your company, to streamline the processes brings with it some legal responsibility, in order to protect the assets of your company. In the past years, legislation that has been deemed necessary to provide your company with tools to protect your assets from cyber criminals has been developed.

These laws and/or regulations also require your company to implement certain security measures within your business structure so that you can mitigate, respond and in the event, protect yourself from legal action by third parties in case you are a victim of the Adverse event.

The questions we must ask ourselves today:

•  Is my strategy to manage the risk associated with technological resources alienated with my current business model?
•   I’m in compliance with the regulations established in my industry?
•  How prepared am I in case an adverse event affects me?

Always expect the best, preparing for the worst.
