The Risk IT Framework fills the gap between generic risk management frameworks and detailed (primarily security-related) IT risk management frameworks. It provides an end-to-end, comprehensive view of all risks related to the use of IT and a similarly thorough treatment of risk management, from the tone and culture at the top, to operational issues. In summary, the framework will enable enterprises to understand and manage all significant IT risk types, building upon the existing risk related components within the current ISACA frameworks, i.e., COBIT and Val IT.

The Risk IT Framework describes a detailed process model for the management of IT-related risk. In this model, multiple references are made to risk analysis, scenario analysis, responsibilities, key risk indicators and many other risk-related terms. The Risk IT Practitioner Guide contains practical, detailed guidance on how to accomplish some of the key activities described in the process model.

Cloud computing is an emerging technology that may help enterprises meet the increased requirements of lower total cost of ownership (TCO), higher return on investment (ROI), increased efficiency, dynamic provisioning and utility-like pay-as-you-go services. However, many IT professionals are citing the increased risks associated with trusting information assets to the cloud as something that must be clearly understood and managed by relevant stakeholders. This page provides resources for more information on what cloud computing and aid in understanding this initiative and how it could align with a business.
