Technology governance
Board-level accountability for technology risk, and the framework that carries it.
Likelihood possible · Impact minor
What this is
We help boards and senior management understand their fiduciary responsibility over information system assets, and their accountability for the value those systems return. Then we build the internal control framework that makes the responsibility operational rather than theoretical.
When you need it
- The board asks about technology risk once a year and gets a status update instead of a risk position.
- IT spend is rising and nobody can show what it bought.
- A regulator has asked who owns technology risk and the answer took three meetings.
- You have registered with the ODPC and now have obligations nobody has assigned.
What we do
- 01 Shape board and executive focus onto the business technology risks that carry real consequence.
- 02 Establish a top-down approach to risk management tied to overall business performance.
- 03 Ensure the use of IT complies with corporate requirements and with the regulator.
- 04 Develop and implement internal control frameworks for the governance of information technology.
- 05 Draw on our CPAs, ACCAs, CISMs and CISAs so the framework survives contact with finance and audit.
What it looks like
What you get
- IT governance framework
- Decision rights, escalation paths and the committee that owns each.
- Technology risk register
- Scored, owned and short enough that the board reads all of it.
- Board reporting pack
- A standing agenda item with figures that mean the same thing each quarter.
- Data protection assessment
- DPIAs, processor agreements and ODPC-ready records.
