These discussion points may help position Asset Loss Incident Manager to your boardroom colleagues.
- Whether the CIO, the CFO or the CEO, someone in the organization is ultimately responsible for the impact of IT asset or data loss.
- The impact can be both on the organization – for example the leaking of competitively sensitive information – and on external stakeholders including members of the public. With identity theft on the increase, the disclosure of any personal data is highly damaging to the organization’s reputation.
- It has become recognized that occasional loss of IT assets is almost impossible to prevent, but failure to be prepared is unacceptable.
- Organizations need a robust framework to respond to such losses and to ensure that the response provides maximum protection for their staff and the public.
- This framework should handle the recording, evaluation, escalation and resolution of any asset or data loss event.
- Such a framework needs to be capable of integration into an organization’s existing processes, management structure and IT management systems.
