Even in our technology-driven world, some still see information security as a rival to business objectives. So how can resource-strapped risk teams perform their duties while earning buy-in?

Join us tomorrow (September 23), to hear how cyber risk practitioners at an international law firm implemented IT risk management technology to increase the efficiency and impact of their small department. Learn how to:

• Build a centralized risk registry with dashboard reporting.
• Automate risk assessment processes for better visibility into vulnerabilities and vendor risk.
• Facilitate smoother audits with continuous controls testing

To optimize business performance, organizations need GRC technologies that provide visibility into internal and external risks. But technology on its own isn’t enough! Organizations need to strategically marry their methodology, content framework, and use cases, with the technology in order to build a truly impactful GRC program.

Having the right set of key risk indicators (KRIs) is critical to aligning your IT risk posture to organizational performance. KRIs allow you to anticipate and quickly respond to issues before they disrupt operations, breach sensitive data, or cause financial damage. But many IT teams aren’t sure of where to start when building out KRIs.

Download this white paper for an overview of IT KRIs to help build your roadmap. You’ll discover:

• The differences between KPIs, KRIs, and KCIs
• How to overcome challenges of implementing and managing KRIs
• 15+ examples of KRIs to start or improve your program

If 2020 taught us anything, it’s that organizations with robust TPRM processes adapt better to supply chain uncertainty and new vendor risks. This year, organizations need to double-down on efficient and reliable vendor onboarding processes. And internal audit has a critical role to play.

Join this webinar to learn how TPRM and audit teams can work together to improve vendor due diligence and build more efficient workflows. You’ll learn how to:

• Get the right stakeholders involved.
• Use automation to perform more onboarding requests, risk assessments, and remediation.
• Improve communications with third parties.

Cybersecurity is a top concern for boards—meaning CISOs finally have a seat at the table.
