OUR CORE FOCUS AREAS
Implementing the requirements of the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is currently a top priority for many companies in the financial sector and ICT third-party providers. This affects financial service providers, credit institutions, payment service providers, securities firms, insurance companies, as well as data providers and rating agencies. ICT third-party providers include cloud computing service providers, data analytics services, data centers, and software vendors.
Last year, the foundations for the information register and many other DORA-initiated measures were established. Many smaller financial service providers lack experienced personnel for DORA implementation. Challenges include integrating external data sources for automated information register population, the now mandatory annual submission of registers to BaFin, establishing reporting procedures for significant ICT incidents, and the assessment and evaluation of contracts and suppliers for third-party risk management.
ITC provides support in professional consulting, data population, contract and supplier relationship analysis, technical integration into existing ITSM and GRC solutions, or selection of standard software for DORA compliance.
- Third-Party Risk Management: Reviewing and updating outsourcing guidelines, contracts, and processes for risk analysis.
- ICT Governance and Risk Management: New compliance requirements necessitate adjustments to internal policies and processes.
- Digital Resilience Review: Development and regular execution of new testing processes such as threat-led penetration tests.
- Incident Reporting: Development of an internal reporting system for significant ICT incidents.
GRC ensures that your business practices comply with legal requirements to avoid legal consequences. At the same time, GRC is an enabler and booster for your business when designed and implemented smartly. Effective governance helps protect corporate value and enhance reputation. Governance processes improve the efficiency of business operations and contribute to value creation.
In effective risk management, risks are identified, and mitigation measures are developed before a project starts. This process involves a thorough review of potential risks arising from the project and developing strategies to avoid or minimize these risks. Controls can be technical or organizational measures to reduce or prevent risks. They can also be part of a risk assessment to minimize or eliminate potential risks. Together, risk assessments and controls are essential tools for risk prevention and successful project execution.
Implementing governance, risk, and compliance is not only a regulatory requirement but also a strategic decision for companies. Customers value businesses that understand their responsibilities, manage risks effectively, and maintain ethical business practices.
Organizational changes involve numerous complex processes, risks, interdependencies, and conflicting priorities. Introducing and executing project and program management provides an organization with a structured framework to successfully implement changes and achieve strategic goals in a planned and secure manner.
We support companies throughout all phases of project and program management with experienced project managers – from analysis and target development to sustainable implementation. Whether it’s a regulatory project, system migration, ERP implementation, software rollout, or seeking experienced PMO support, we bring our expertise to the table.
These use cases represent just a selection of the diverse applications in IT project and program management. Depending on the specific requirements and objectives of a company, we can identify and adapt additional scenarios.
The goal is to ensure the security of IT systems and data, enhance user productivity, and meet compliance requirements. Effective identity and access management enables companies to reduce risks and better protect their IT infrastructure.
With the increasing interconnection of devices and systems, the growing importance of cloud services, and the rising complexity of security threats, IAM is becoming ever more critical. IAM systems will increasingly leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning to detect risks early and prevent security breaches. At the same time, there will be a stronger focus on user-friendliness and self-service features for users. The future of IAM promises exciting developments that will help make data and systems safer and more efficient.
