IT Risk Mitigation

In today’s competitive environment it is critical that organizations align IT to meet business objectives. In addition, as a result of regulatory requirements companies are required to address risks IT poses to the organization. RSM Richter works with you to evaluate design and controls surrounding people, process and technology. We will provide recommendations regarding IT governance, operations, organizations and utilization of technology to optimize efficiencies.

1. IT Process, Control Review and Assessment

RSM Richter will assess current IT control policies and procedures to identify risks and evaluate controls and security mechanisms.

Our information technology control review and assessment helps you:

  • Ensure that controls are in place to prevent unauthorized access to, and use of, your technology
  • Enhance IT policies and procedures
  • Verify the integrity and reliability of data and transaction processing
  • Achieve regulatory compliance

2. Transaction Support

During an acquisition, analyzing IT integration with your target is a must. For the first few months of the integration process, several decisions will have to be made to facilitate the flow of information and to refocus the master plan. Learn more about our Transaction Support Services.

3. Continuity Planning and Disaster Recovery

Contingency planning to manage information technology vulnerabilities is imperative. Your organization needs a plan to cope with short-term power failures and equipment failure, as well as catastrophic events including fire and flood.

Continuity planning includes a business impact analysis, identification of preventative controls and the development of recovery strategies. Our IT continuity planning services also encompass testing the plan and training your personnel.
