Use case for IT & Security Risk Management
The Challenge
Today’s complex regulatory environment entails frequent changes to laws, regulations, andindustry requirements and a constantly shifting compliance landscape. Unfortunately, many
IT organizations are ill equipped to handle the magnitude and volume of regulatory changes
and the trickle-down effect they can have on IT systems and processes. The lack of definedprocesses to monitor these regulatory changes, plus limited visibility into what may be loomingon the horizon, exposes organizations to unnecessary risk as IT systems can quickly fall outof compliance. Without these processes, IT organizations wind up “firefighting” and relying on
ad hoc method s to adapt to changes in compliance obligations.
The lack of visibility and understanding of impacts from regulatory changes often results in IT
compliance gaps and increased risk of penalties and reputational damage. With the rapid
expansion of new and changing regulatory mandates, the lack of a flexible change management
process further results in duplicative or conflicting control activities. IT controls that are implementedinconsistently become ineffective at protecting the organization, and hinder IT and business
management from truly understanding how shifts in compliance obligations impact internal
applications and systems.
