IT Risk Consulting Solutions
IT risk consulting services that help protect your organization from new risks when you adopt new technologies
Organizations looking to rapidly innovate their operations face a range of security challenges. As they adopt more new technologies, applications, and platforms to increase productivity and profitability, they also take on more risk. In the current global environment of escalating cyberattacks by increasingly sophisticated criminal organizations, a once-a-year, business-as-usual audit isn’t enough to keep pace with new technology risks. Additionally, while many organizations are moving to the cloud as part of their innovation efforts, they may not fully understand where their information is located, who has access to it, or how it is protected.
Your organization’s security leaders are best served by collaborating with an IT risk services partner with the right level of experience and expertise, including proven performance reducing costs while increasing efficiencies. Your ideal partner will also serve as an extension of the organization’s team and provide guidance for holistic needs as they happen.

Implementing a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system is fraught with challenges. Ahead of your ERP launch, our advisors will help assess, diagnose and evaluate technology, processes and risks to help your organization realize full ROI potential.
With technology’s ever-changing evolution—and increasing data breaches and cyber incidents—executive leadership and boards are under pressure to make sure management is proactively evaluating and addressing IT risk. While an organization’s internal audit function plays a large role in assuring proper audit plans are in place, internal audit department support may not be sufficient to monitor areas of high-risk and so additional resources are required. RSM’s IT risk assessment helps you identify, quantify and prioritize the key risks affecting your operating environment as well as planned and future strategic initiatives.
Our proprietary process leverages multiple IT governance frameworks—including COBIT 2019, NIST, CSA, FFIEC, PCI DSS and others—to provide a complete view of 17 IT risk domains and where your use of technology may require additional focus from the third line of defense. During the assessment, RSM conducts two surveys to collect key information from management and executive leadership, then analyzes that data to calculate your inherent IT risk. Additionally, our risk identification assessment evaluates a wide range of risk domains within four areas: emerging technology, IT and security management, programs and data, and strategy and governance. Available reports within the assessment include a risk scorecard, a top-five risks report and risk domain reports.
