IT Risk Management: KRI Basics

Discover common pitfalls, get three example KRIs, and learn how to build a scalable, sustainable KRI program. Get started on mastering IT risk management today.

As an IT professional, you bear the responsibility of safeguarding your organisation before potential IT risks halt business operations, cause irreversible reputational damage, or breach sensitive customer data. Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) provide early warning signals when your risks (either strategic or operational) move in an unfavourable direction. But many IT departments aren’t sure of where to get started in IT risk management.

In this white paper, we address some of the common challenges of implementing, managing, and maintaining KRIs for sound IT risk management. Plus we provide three jam-packed pages of example KRIs for IT professionals. Finally, we address why many KRI programs fail, and provide you with the roadmap to ensure your IT governance program is a success.

What you’ll learn:

  • The different kinds of indicators, what they measure, their purpose, and audience
  • How KRIs fit into a greater IT risk management program
  • How to select your own KRIs, including a worksheet
  • And how to ensure your KRI program is scalable and sustainable
