Safety regulations and requirements implemented by governments worldwide, and organizations’ desire to protect their staff, suppliers, distributors, and customers, have forced many businesses to update, if not, transform their risk assessment model and embrace emerging technology to stay in business. All these changes are closely followed by IT and third-party risks that cannot be ignored.
TeamMate Audit Benchmark indicates that audit leaders from around the globe seek to reconfigure their risk assessment and audit planning activities to better address the dynamic nature of their rapidly changing environments. Some of their key initiatives involve implementing processes to move away from yearly risk assessments in favor of a more continuous approach.
Those who have started their journey toward continuous risk assessment quickly realize the need to connect systems and data across the organization to ensure that risk professionals can access and assess information that may create risk vulnerabilities. Many organizations rely on an expert risk management solution that provides an API framework to connect to their ecosystem.
