Information Technology and Project Assurance

The digital age is here. Embracing the opportunities on offer is the only way to stay competitive. IT systems are a fundamental part of your organization and you – and your customers, shareholders and regulators – need to trust it.

Trust means that:

• your customers will buy your products on-line and have confidence you’ll keep their data secure
• your suppliers know your systems won’t fail them
• you have the confidence to move your business forward by embracing technology and the opportunities it has to offer.

With trust in your data and security, with resilience built into your systems, and with the knowledge that your digital transformations will succeed, you’ll have the confidence to embrace your digital future, and enjoy the exponential impact it has on your growth.

You need to contain IT and business risks, as they can emerge within core technology areas such as infrastructure, applications, or data, and impact the effectiveness of your business processes. We assist our clients on minimizing these risks through the use of an integrated risk model that touches upon IT, financial, and business operations. Our approach manages risks effectively throughout an organization, to enable clients to protect their brand and realize the full benefits of technology investments.

The critical issues:

• Your digital world just got bigger
  Businesses now operate in an interconnected way. So securing data, transactions and operations means working beyond your own walls. Businesses depend on digital business processes. This amplifies the impact of cyber attaches on every area of your business.
  
• It's not 'if' but 'when'
  Scarcely a day goes by without mention of a new cyber crime in the news. Businesses face a wide range of threats ranging from nation states and organized crime to 'hacktivists' and insiders. Would you know what to do if you are compromised? Are you prepared?
  
• How do you survive and thrive?
  New technology can bring more efficiency but is fraught with risks. If your cyber security is inadequate, you won't have the confidence to take risks that allow you to get ahead of the competition. Cyber breaches damage reputations and destroy trust - both are vital ingredients for success in the digital age.
