Our “IT Risk Management” approach according to COSO
Our IT Risk management is based on the classic COSO Risk Management approach, which is characterized by the following steps:
- Governance and culture: Definition of governance structures and establishment of a risk culture based on ethical values and desired behavior. This creates the basis for effective Risk Management and enables clear risk management at all levels.
- Strategy and goal setting: The integration of risk management into the strategic planning process ensures that risks are considered when defining business goals and strategies. Risk appetite is defined and aligned with strategic priorities.
- Performance: Identification and assessment of risks that could impair the achievement of objectives. Risks are prioritized based on their severity and appropriate risk responses are developed and implemented. A portfolio approach helps to gain an overview of the overall risk situation.
- Review and adjustment: Regular review of the effectiveness of Risk Management measures in the context of changes in the environment or corporate strategy. This also includes adapting strategies to new challenges.
- Information, communication and reporting: Continuous provision and dissemination of relevant information within the organization and to external stakeholders. This promotes transparency and enables well-founded decisions to be made.
Through this systematic approach, our IT Risk management not only supports the minimization of potential threats, but also promotes the exploitation of opportunities arising from changes and risks. Emphasis is placed on linking risk, strategy and performance to ensure long-term resilience and value creation.
