Business questions focused on Risk
These business questions support you to accomplish continued business and IT innovation with the confidence of better compliance, decreased risk to critical applications and the technologies that provide them, and knowledge of the potential impact of IT security issues on critical business areas.
The business question How will IT failure impact our business? provides a high-level end-to-end view of your IT technology landscape. The visualization highlights your business' reliance on locations and servers and highlights the susceptibility of the applications that run on servers and the business capabilities they support. Review the dependencies that critical business capabilities have on the IT in order to understand and mitigate risk before an IT outage occurs.
The business question Where do we use sensitive business data? examines the application portfolio and the business data that is created, read, updated, or deleted by your applications in a CRUD (C=Create, R=Read, U=Update, and D=Delete) matrix. The CRUD analysis identifies inconsistencies and redundancies in the way business data are used in the IT landscape and helps you to easily understand which applications process sensitive data, what kind of data is handled, and what the application does with this data.
