Information Risk Management

When your organization undergoes rapid change, such as a merger, internal reorganization, major outsourcing or repositioning, you can become exposed to higher levels of information systems risk. KPMG's independent, objective Information Risk Management (IRM) professionals can help you identify, understand, measure and monitor business risks resulting from dependence on information technology.

KPMG's suite of IRM services has been designed to help clients improve information technology (IT) governance, heighten information management performance, and assist in sourcing management and IT controls. The KPMG approach helps organizations manage their investments in technology by identifying specific risks to their business by documenting, assessing and testing specific processes and procedures.

With a view to protecting information assets and managing technology investments, we can assist clients in:

  • Information protection: protecting vital information assets by assisting clients with information security, business continuity and crisis preparedness
  • Information systems and controls: verifying that optimal controls relating to major systems and their implementation are in place and operating effectively
  • Information reliability: assuring stakeholders of information reliability, through IT risk assessment, benchmarking and due diligence.

Our information risk management professionals can provide:

  • Focus and experience in business aspects of technology
  • Knowledge of the IT issues within your industry
  • Professional and practical experience in IT management and governance
  • Breadth and depth of security and risk management skills, knowledge, and experience across a wide range of business and technology environments
  • Leading security methodologies, tools, and knowledge repositories that are leveraged for consistent, efficient, effective service
  • Use of the Maturity Model approach and methodology as set out in the COBIT Management Guidelines
