Risk management is a tough nut to crack in the IT world. Traditionally, organizations have avoided identifying IT risk as a separate and actionable risk area, folding it in with other forms of risk and often ignoring it completely. However, today, IT risk is a major issue for several reasons. First, and most visible, is compliance. Regulatory requirements force organizations to call out IT risk and address it explicitly.

Second, we finally are in that information age that people have been talking about for decades, and information is the life-blood of most organizations. In fact, even money itself is little more than data under certain circumstances. Finally, that status of data as the underpinning for the entire organization demands that risk be managed explicitly. Far fewer organizations than in years past are submitting to the "check-in-the-box" syndrome where compliance is all that matters and security comes a distant second, as long as the compliance report reads properly.
