At Sixgold Technologies, we understand that these situations can challenge your organization's risk management processes. Whether faced with hard risk-mitigation decisions or unsympathetic compliance requirements, our Control Planning services help you gain professional insight into the applicability, design, and impact of control to your organization. Our Control Planning services build able-to-audit and transparency into risk management programs- lowering cost and impact to the organization.

Understanding the appropriateness and fitness of IT control to your organization can be a dizzying process for senior business leaders, IT managers, and auditors. Regulatory compliance controls require management to do one thing. Internal risk controls require another. Proposed control implementation costs can disrupt organizational capex and opex, undermining critical business processes and objectives.

Control Rationalization

Confronted with the results of an IT Risk Assessment, many senior managers are left contemplating the next steps. How can I lower risks to a more acceptable level? How much will remediation cost? What will be my residual risk? Sixgold Technologies's Control Rationalization service helps organizations answer these questions by developing a facilitated, structured framework of risk treatment strategies. Our senior resources will help you identify and establish.

Key metrics for risk tolerance and acceptance.
1. A framework of IT control objectives that incorporate both your regulatory compliance and risk-based requirements.
2. Appropriate control designs that minimize organizational expenditure and disruption to business.
3. A remediation project plan that identifies the timelines and resources associated with control implementation.

Our Control Rationalization service uses the Sixgold Technologies Common Control Framework, a control objective framework that incorporates thousands of best-practice and regulatory requirements. More information on the Sixgold Technologies Common Controls Framework can be found within our Common Controls Program service.
