RISK ADVISORY & IT CONSULTING

In today’s ever-changing world, organizations – whether private and public sector or non-for-profit – are heavily dependent on information technology (IT). Successful organizations know that to win and maintain competitive advantage, to gain and sustain operational efficiency, they are required to generate fresh value through aggressive IT innovation. Companies are increasingly reliant on not just internal resources, but also on third parties to successfully select, design, implement, and maintain these technologies and technology-enabled processes, services and solutions. While IT streamlines company business processes, it entails certain security and compliance risks that must be controlled to remain within the tolerance level.
