Episode 82 — Align IT and information risk management with the enterprise ERM framework (Task 37)
This episode teaches you how to align IT and information risk management with the enterprise ERM framework so risk decisions are comparable across the business and escalation paths actually work when tradeoffs get difficult. You’ll learn how alignment requires shared risk language, consistent categorization, compatible scoring methods, and a governance cadence that connects IT risk signals to enterprise forums without losing the technical detail needed for effective control. We’ll cover typical misalignment problems, including duplicate assessments, conflicting ownership between IT, security, and business leaders, and reporting that is too technical to drive enterprise decisions or too abstract to drive remediation. Real-world scenarios include cyber risks presented as vulnerability lists instead of business exposure, third-party risks split across procurement and IT with no single accountable owner, and risk acceptance happening informally outside ERM thresholds. On the CGEIT exam, strong answers usually strengthen alignment by harmonizing methods and reporting, clarifying decision rights, and ensuring risk treatment and acceptance are traceable to ERM appetite and tolerance.
