Planning Risk Mitigation Throughout an Organization |
CHAPTER |
AFTER COMPLETING THE BASICS of identifying assets, threats, and vulnerabilities, identifying controls can begin. Controls mitigate risk throughout an organization. One of the ways to evaluate controls is to identify critical business operations and functions. Controls should be in place to protect against risks for these critical areas of a business.
Compliance is an important topic in information technology (IT) today. If any laws or guidelines govern an organization, the organization needs to ensure it is compliant because noncompliance can be quite expensive. The first step in verifying compliance is identifying the relevant laws and guidelines that apply to the organization, after which those that apply need to be assessed for compliance within the organization.
