IT has become increasingly central to business success — but many enterprises haven't adjusted their processes for IT decision making and risk management.

In this timely and authoritative book, authors George Westerman, Research Scientist in the MIT Sloan School of Management, and Richard Hunter, Group VP and Gartner Fellow, define four types of IT risk: availability, access, accuracy, and agility.

Citing numerous company examples, the authors introduce three disciplines that enterprises must master to manage IT risk effectively:

  • A solid foundation of IT assets, people, and supporting processes and controls that enable executives to manage the right risks in the right order.
  • A well-designed risk governance process — including oversight by high-level executives — that allows companies to identify, prioritize, and track risks.
  • A risk-aware culture, nurtured from the top, which attunes people to the causes and solutions for IT risks and creates increased vigilance across the organization.

Pre-Conference Workshop

Additional $495 fee applies. Limited seat availability.

Evaluating Governance, Risk & Compliance Performance
Performance evaluation helps an organization understand whether their compliance program is delivering business benefits, and where investments can be optimized. But measuring performance is a difficult task; there are no laws or regulations that demand your program is efficient or delivers business value.

Yet performance evaluation can and should be an integral part of the GRC process – it ensures that your company’s program is not only effective, but responsive. With practical guidance based on the current experience of organizations measuring their GRC performance, this workshop will explore:

  • The material benefits of evaluating performance (justifying capital allocation, enriching communications with stakeholders, etc.)
  • The process of measuring and analyzing indicators
  • The bottom-line rationale for performing beyond effectiveness
  • The value of efficiency and responsiveness
  • Actual GRC program outcomes

Wednesday, March 5, 2008 from 1:00-4:00pm

Post-Conference Workshop

Additional $495 fee applies. Limited seating availability.

Managing Personal Information: Compliance Practices throughout the Information Life Cycle
Using the right combination of tools and techniques to strike the balance between information security for inclusion and exclusion throughout the information life-cycle is a challenging process. It’s just as important to keep personal and proprietary information protected from disclosure as it is to make public information broadly and consistently available. Extending the operational supply chain to outside providers across markets exacerbates concerns over control and compliance integrity.

This workshop provides hands-on guidance and examples to help you determine whether your:

  • Organization is collecting too much information
  • Controls have been adapted to the expanding classifications for protected information
  • Controls are actually promulgated through your third party information processing providers
  • Controls are retained when your information moves into the storage phases and becomes subject to your records management policies
