Technology Risk and Cyber Resilience

Today’s risk management planning should focus on prevention and on building resilient organizations, by identifying, mitigating, eliminating, and minimizing risks.

A Comprehensive Outlook on Risk
Many organizations struggle to identify and manage both internal and external risk, and to develop a clear picture of the evolving competitive, technological, and legislative landscapes. Without adequate ongoing governance, risk reduction efforts may never make it past the policy stage. And a thorough risk assessment must include ecosystem-wide evaluation—including suppliers—and build in resilience and continuity planning to reduce risk in the future.

How Guidehouse Can Help
Guidehouse can help with a full range of risk management solutions as organizations move toward adaptive risk and resilience mitigation. Our team of cybersecurity experts brings technology experience and qualifications in cybersecurity across cyber domains that include strategy, data governance, privacy, cyber defense, cyber technology integration and enablement, and cyber investigation and breach response services.

Digital Transformation: More Than Simply a Technology Challenge
Digital transformation is enabled by technology, but at its core it is about much more than that. Because digital transformation touches both day-to-day operations and future growth and profitability, prioritizing investments based on business objectives is crucial. New processes should improve employee and partner access to tools, as well as delivery of insights that are both clear and trustworthy. Whenever possible, costs for legacy or end of-life solutions should be contained, giving IT teams the freedom and flexibility to modernize and innovate. And data governance should be just as important as data aggregation.
