Change Managment
When your organization undertakes projects or initiatives to improve performance, seize opportunities or address key issues, they often require changes; changes to processes, job roles, organizational structures and types and uses of technology. However, it is actually the employees of your organization who have to ultimately change how they do their jobs. If these individuals are unsuccessful in their personal transitions, if they don’t embrace and learn a new way of working, the initiative will fail. If employees embrace and adopt changes required by the initiative, it will deliver the expected results.
Incident Managment
The goal of the incident management process is to restore a normal service operation as quickly as possible and to minimize the impact on business operations, thus ensuring that the best possible levels of service quality and availability are maintained.
User Rights And Permission Reviews
A user access review is a process that an organization implements to actively monitor and verify the appropriateness of a users' access to systems and applications based on an understanding of the minimum necessary for users to perform or support business activities or functions. The responsibility for granting access and performing periodic verification of the appropriateness of that access rests with the system and/or business owner of the system or application. Setting the correct rights and permissions can be an important part of mitigating risk.
Audit
Regular audits may identify problems such as accounting errors or security vulnerabilities before they become larger problems. Audits can be used both as a process of risk identification and mitigation. For example, accounting audits are a way to reduce the risk of financial fraud.
Backups
Backing up business information in multiple secure physical locations.
Planning for critical situations such as natural disasters or security incidents can reduce the impact of such events should they occur.
Error Handling
Designing systems so that errors are handled in such a way that processes, automation and user interfaces remain functional. Historically, systems were often designed to immediately halt upon finding any type of error. This is an unacceptable business risk in many scenarios. Well designed modern systems are designed to work around errors as far as possible.
Maintenance
Maintenance such as applying patches to software.
Policies
Policies designed to reduce risk such as safety procedures at a construction site.
Redundancy
Redundancy is the practice of eliminating single points of failure by having two or more of each critical resource. For example, a company with 2,000 employees who all work out of a single location might consider having at least two geographically distributed offices to mitigate risks such as an infrastructure failure or a disaster that strikes a location.
Testing
Testing such as product or system testing is a core risk mitigation technique. For example, properly testing the quality of a system will reduce the risk that it will fail at launch.
