IT Risk Management Framework
Executive Sponsor: Meg Anderson, AVP & CISO, Principal Financial Group
Project Team: Anita Hartman, Tim Peterson, Kim Herren, Loren Long, Mark Vernon, Abby Martin, Deidre Lane, Terri Poortinga and Eric Ware.
Location: Des Moines, IA
A variety of disparate tools and manual processes had been used to accomplish critical Information Security functions including: managing security policy/related variances, security assessments, supplier security profiles, compliance reporting. This resulted in uncorrelated data and an inability to cohesively report risk. The manual processing wasted time, and it was difficult for businesses to know where to initiate and monitor progress of our services. We implemented an IT Risk Management Framework to ensure data is stored in a single location and to provide cohesive reporting. The solution incorporates a workflow process, which streamlines submissions, eliminates manual work and enables better tracking.
CNA’s Enterprise Risk Register – Enterprise Adoption
Executive Sponsor: Robert Allen, VP, Service Management & CISO, CNA
Project Team: Mark Verheven, Larry Lidz, Greg Allen, John Sternberg
Location: Chicago, IL
The adoption rate of CNA’s Enterprise Risk Register has reached a tipping point, and is full embraced by the Enterprise Risk Management group as the de-facto risk repository and reporting tool for the company. The multi-tier risk register comprises a holistic risk management solution, directly tied to the new enterprise risk hierarchy, providing end-to-end risk information management from the detailed operational aspect to the balanced aggregate executive view. Each tier of the risk register offers the ability to fully evaluate risk components, substantiating the risk statements. The register is continuously active through ongoing evaluation of risk control effectiveness.
