IT Risk Management requires an integrated approach to governance and involvement and commitment beyond the IT department.

 

Stakeholders across an organization often have differing perceptions regarding the roles, responsibilities, and the key components for effective governance. Our program will present strategies and discussions to better align those charged with designing, developing and overseeing governance with IT professionals balancing compliance and program requirements with their day-to-day operational pressures. The session will help you:

·              Better understand board members’, executives’, and audits’ roles

·              Recognize and address some common communication challenges

·              Consider Frameworks for Governance, Risk Management and Cybersecurity such as COSO, NIST, Center for Internet Security, etc.

·              Improve skills for managing both upwards and downwards

·              Understand increased governance risks for global or highly decentralized organization

This session will also help you understand and communicate:

·              What is Corporate Governance?
