Why is Integrated Risk Management the need of the hour?

Keeping up with the tumultuous economic environment triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, the demands of stringent regulations and the immediate need to comply are doubling down on businesses worldwide. Since the inception of the pandemic, businesses have been privy to increased cyber breaches. The month of March 2021 saw 151 recorded cases of cyber breaches globally with a whopping 20, 995, 371 breached records. Earlier in 2020 we saw a 273% increment in exposed records over 2019’s statistics. Lately, businesses have become increasingly dependent on third-party outsourcing and subcontracting to tackle the burgeoning demands originating from cyber threats. While this dependency is often fruitful for the firms, numerous risks in the form of hidden costs, incompetent workforce, or laxity in security stay unearthed. They are critical enough to turn a seemingly effective and efficient outsourced project into a counter-productive living nightmare! With the advent of Digitalization, the cloud has become integral to businesses. However, firms often overlook the manifold risks associated with the convenience of digital and cloud transformations that can lead to adverse effect on the technology and business both.

What can firms do to resolve this?

Having a foresight into risks is key to anticipation of possible new and emerging risks. Here is how a forward-looking approach might save the day for businesses globally. Since it’s imperative for firms today to pursue some form of digital transformation exercise, they must standardize the associated cyber security measures, risk, and compliance processes. Maintaining consistency in language and taxonomy across varying strata of defense such as compliance function, group audit, and operations proves extremely beneficial in a long run. This healthy standardization and coordination of lines of defense invariably increases the efficacy and effectiveness of IRM solutions. Tech AGRIM’s Integrated Risk Management approach emerges as the one-stop offering to address such potential risks.

The role of technology

Technology is an integral component of risk-management. To orchestrate an effective line of defense, Tech AGRIM advises firms to first prioritize consolidation of their siloed platforms and integrate them with the implemented security & compliance monitoring tools (orchestration and monitoring tools, to name a few) and processes. Firms must then set up strict governance around these platforms. The duty of gauging the legitimacy of real IRM processes and pinpointing the specific GRC areas can be delegated to multi-department, multi-layer governance within the firm.
