It is important for organizations to maintain business continuity. Risk management is a part of the overall business continuity and disaster recovery processes. Risk management plans are developed after a comprehensive risk assessment and require active management involvement. Managements involvement ensures that the effective risk controls can be identified and implemented successfully.

You are continuing your work in developing the business continuity plan for your organization. In this assignment, you will create a risk management table for the IT Department for the scenario organization. Note: Information about the IT Department will be from your previous assignment. You can make changes but make sure you reflect any changes in your documents previously created.

Resources:

• A sample risk management template from http://www.computerweekly.com/tip/Free-IT-risk-assessment-template-download-and-best-practices is available here or is found in the Templates folder in the left navigation panel.

Create the Risk Management Assessment from your organization scenario. Make sure you include your risk assessment team members/structure. Note: Your plan will not necessarily cover all areas of the template but should include the vital information about the systems and procedures. Dont forget about internal elements, external assets, third-party resources, linkages to other offices/clients/vendors, etc.
