Author(s): Filipe De Souza , Sean Thurston , Cameron Smith , Ian Mulholland

Without clear responsibilities set out in a risk management plan, the right decision makers can be left out of the conversations that they are needed for. This phase will take you through the following activities:

  • Determine the function of the risk executive.
  • Determine the function of the board of directors and IT security group.
  • Build a security risk responsibilities document.
  • Define the organizational risk tolerance level.

Use this phase as part of the full blueprint, Combine Information Security Risk Management Components Into One Program.
