In the age of digital transformation, IT risk management is indispensable to protect and ensure the reliability of business processes - so that risk does not turn into a crisis. In the face of an ever-changing landscape of cyber threats, technological advances and regulatory requirements, IT risk management is at the heart of a robust information security strategy.
IT risk management involves identifying, analysing and assessing risks associated with the use of information technology. The aim and objective is to understand, control and minimise risk in order to ensure the integrity, availability and confidentiality of data. This involves not only preventing security incidents and data loss, but also guaranteeing that IT systems and processes are resilient to disruptions and in line with applicable compliance requirements.
Prudent IT risk management helps recognise potential security gaps at an early stage and proactively take countermeasures. Various methods are used to this end, such as GAP analyses, which are based on established standards such as ISO 31000 and BSI 200-3, to determine the current security status and reveal potential for improvement.
The adoption of legislation such as the NIS-2 Directive (Network and Information Security Directive) and the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) underscores the growing importance of a systematic approach to IT risk management. NIS-2 seeks to increase the cyber resilience of critical infrastructures in the EU, while the DORA specifically strengthens digital operational resilience in the financial sector. Both frameworks require enterprises to implement comprehensive security measures and ensure that they can respond appropriately to cyber incidents.
Although IT risk management poses a complex challenge, it also offers organisations the opportunity to build trust with stakeholders while obtaining a clear competitive advantage by demonstrating that they take the security of their data and systems seriously, have a plan in place for any contingencies and are proactive.

IT risk management is the process of identifying, assessing and dealing with risks emanating from the use of, and dependence on, information technologies. The aim is to reduce risk to an acceptable level and ensure that business objectives can be achieved while remaining compliant with all requirements.
IT risk management is important because it helps companies recognise potential threats to their IT systems and data and take preventative measures. This protects against data loss and security breaches while supporting business continuity. It also helps meet regulatory requirements and can improve your company's resilience to IT risks. In this context, it is advisable to have an IT contingency plan to fall back on. Because if such an emergency comes about, the time factor is very important. If everyone involved knows what to do, it saves valuable time and unnecessary work. A good plan minimises the repercussions of an incident immensely.
The frequency of risk assessments can vary depending on the size of the organisation, the dynamics of the IT landscape and the business sector. In general, it is recommended that a formal risk assessment be carried out at least once a year or in the event of significant changes to the IT environment or the business environment.
The first step in introducing an IT risk management process is to carry out a GAP analysis, which we will be glad to support. This analysis helps you to understand your organisation's current position with regard to information security and to identify gaps compared to best practice standards such as BSI 200-3. After analysing the results of the GAP analysis, we can help you identify further action needed and develop a detailed risk mitigation plan. We will then support you in implementing the necessary measures to achieve and maintain an appropriate level of IT security.
