Gartner Consulting | FOR YOUR IT INITIATIVE

IT Risk Management is an ongoing effort to keep pace with threats.

IT Risk Management

IT risk management does not work "out of the box." It is not a product to purchase or a policy to put in place. Instead, it is a process of business risk management that must be performed on an ongoing basis. It is critical for an organization to continuously examine the risks and security objectives within its business environment, and systematically bake protection into the way it operates.

Gartner's systematic, comprehensive approach to IT security and risk management is an overall model for business risk management that identifies security-related business processes that must be baked in, and provides guidance on security objectives, security posture, and security architecture alternatives.
