Risk Management: Assess risks. Act appropriately.
Discover and assess your hidden IT risks
Over the last few years, IT solutions have become a fundamental part of business process chains. With the increasing penetration of IT solutions into added value chains and the accompanying optimisation of those chains, the failure of IT systems has become a financial risk for companies. IT solutions must therefore be analysed not only in terms of quality, but also in terms of quantity in relationship to the expected financial damage that would be caused by failure.
- Process of Risk Management according to ISO 31000
As part of its risk management analysis, ICB offers detailed mapping of your existing IT systems, underlying infrastructure and accompanying services processes. Based on this record, failure scenarios are then analysed in financial terms in cooperation with specialist departments, thus quantifying the possible damages in monetary terms (EUR). Using CRISAM methodology and tools, the individual and aggregate risks can be calculated for both individual IT systems and groups. Here, we rely on proven, standardised analysis benchmarks such as the BSI Grundschutzkatalog standards laid down by the German Federal Office for Information Security, ISO 9001, etc. The result of the risk management analysis: a picture of the current risk situation and its hidden financial risks.
Make profitable improvements to your IT infrastructure

The purchasing of a new IT infrastructure and updating of existing infrastructures are often driven from the point of view of the relevant project at the time. Furthermore, analysis of the overall financial benefit for the company is usually only carried out as part of return-on-investment and total-cost-of-ownership observations. There is rarely a proper analysis of whether infrastructure measures will also reduce risk, but it is only such an analysis that can allow you to make accurate use of limited means and resources in order to achieve the desired level of availability for overall IT architecture.
ICB supports you with a holistic analysis of the various alternatives for action as part of an all-inclusive risk management analysis. Based on the in-depth infrastructure analysis, individual projects and entire programs are tested and analysed in terms of their effect on risk and financial implications. ICB also generates a list of the IT systems with the highest causes of risk so that "quick wins" can be identified. The result is a picture of which available means and resources will be able to create the most positive results for the company. This allows management to control IT projects precisely on target and supports argumentation for budget negotiations.
Communicate opportunities and threats in a targeted way and within the proper scope
- Reports of Analyse (Source: CRISAM)
A solid basis for decision-making is becoming increasingly desirable, if not downright necessary, when it comes to planning and implementing further measures. A flexible, open reporting concept allows you to present and communicate risk assessments and milestones in a transparent way.
As part of risk assessment, the risk report offers you this type of reporting. It should be tailored to individual requirements, depending on the purpose of use and the person or body to whom it is addressed. In this way, you can monitor and control whether scheduled measures are achieving their objectives, and also present the objectives and compliance therewith in a transparent, traceable way.Take your company in the right direction
