APO12 Process Practices, Inputs/Outputs and Activities (cont.)<br />

Management Practice Inputs Outputs<br />

APO12.03 Maintain a risk profile.<br />

Maintain an inventory of known risk and risk attributes<br />

(including expected frequency, potential impact and<br />

responses) and of related resources, capabilities and<br />

current control activities.<br />

1. Inventory business processes, including supporting personnel, applications, infrastructure, facilities, critical manual records, vendors, suppliers and<br />

outsourcers, and document the dependency on IT service management processes and IT infrastructure resources.<br />

2. Determine and agree on which IT services and IT infrastructure resources are essential to sustain the operation of business processes. Analyse<br />

dependencies and identify weak links.<br />

3. Aggregate current risk scenarios by category, business line and functional area.<br />

4. On a regular basis, capture all risk profile information and consolidate it into an aggregated risk profile.<br />

5. Based on all risk profile data, define a set of risk indicators that allow the quick identification and monitoring of current risk and risk trends.<br />

6. Capture information on IT risk events that have materialised, for inclusion in the IT risk profile of the enterprise.<br />

7. Capture information on the status of the risk action plan, for inclusion in the IT risk profile of the enterprise.<br />

exposures and opportunities in a timely manner to all<br />

required stakeholders for appropriate response.<br />

Activities<br />

1. Report the results of risk analysis to all affected stakeholders in terms and formats useful to support enterprise decisions. Wherever possible, include<br />

probabilities and ranges of loss or gain along with confidence levels that enable management to balance risk-return.<br />

2. Provide decision makers with an understanding of worst-case and most-probable scenarios, due diligence exposures, and significant reputation, legal<br />

or regulatory considerations.<br />

3. Report the current risk profile to all stakeholders, including effectiveness of the risk management process, control effectiveness, gaps, inconsistencies,<br />

redundancies, remediation status, and their impacts on the risk profile.<br />

identified gaps and exposures to determine the need for additional risk analysis.<br />

5. On a periodic basis, for areas with relative risk and risk capacity parity, identify IT-related opportunities that would allow the acceptance of greater risk<br />

and enhanced growth and return.<br />

level as a portfolio.<br />

Activities<br />

1. Maintain an inventory of control activities that are in place to manage risk and that enable risk to be taken in line with risk appetite and tolerance.<br />

Classify control activities and map them to specific IT risk statements and aggregations of IT risk.<br />

2. Determine whether each organisational entity monitors risk and accepts accountability for operating within its individual and portfolio tolerance levels.<br />
