Episode 73 — Integrate IT risk governance into enterprise risk management without friction (4A2)
This episode explains how to integrate IT risk governance into enterprise risk management so risk is evaluated consistently, escalations work smoothly, and leadership can compare tradeoffs across the enterprise without translation problems. You’ll learn how integration depends on shared language, common risk categories, aligned reporting cadence, and clear boundaries for what IT risk governance owns versus what ERM owns. We’ll cover how to avoid friction points like duplicate assessments, mismatched scoring scales, conflicting risk ownership, and reporting that is too technical for enterprise risk forums to act on. Real-world scenarios include cybersecurity risks that are reported as technical vulnerabilities instead of business exposure, third-party risks split across procurement and IT with no single accountable owner, and portfolios where risk acceptance happens informally outside ERM thresholds. On the CGEIT exam, the best responses typically align IT risk governance processes, metrics, and escalation paths to ERM expectations while preserving the detail needed for effective operational control.
