Group aims & objectives

The Risk in Information Systems and E-business (RISE) is being re-launched with  an emphasis on understanding the risks associated to all aspects of technology, change, security and impact on the front end business risk. The aim of the Group is to bring together risk professionals, students and those with an interest in this area together to share best practice, experience and build an informal network to discuss issues and challenges both internally and externally within their respective organisations. It is the aim of the group to bring together professionals from a wide range of industries and expertise to enrich the debate around technology risk.  The inaugural meeting will set the agenda for the SIG but it is expected the group will meet on a quarterly basis with a  mixture of talks from Industry experts and practitioners, round table’s on specific issues and debates where differing points of view will be advocated by two parties to facilitate a discussion.  Some of the topics suggested for discussion include:

• Data Loss, Is it important ?
• Cyber Crime, is this the biggest threat to companies, economies and countries ?
• What’s the role of the IT Risk Manager within different industries ?
• What does the Cloud mean for companies and the risk profession ?
• What’s the industry standard for the management and delivery of IT Change ?
• How can you minimise the potential for Fraud within systems ?
• Does regulation dictate IT design or does business process ?
• PCI DSS, does it matter ?
• Data privacy legislation, regulation, coverage and approaches
• Social Media, the Internet and Data Privacy ?
