RiskWatch has launched a new how-to-guide for IT Risk Assessment.

The guide covers methodology, structure and risk assessment forms.

Forms for collecting information about asset values and threat incidents are included in the Guide to Risk Assessment, as well as the latest FFIEC (Federal Financial Institutions Examiner's Council) regulations.

Companies perceive a rising level of risk and plan to increase their investment in risk management over the next three years, but a lack of alignment with the strategy of their business means many are not getting the full benefits from their risk approach, says a new survey from Ernst & Young. The global survey, "Companies on Risk: The Benefits of Alignment," published in March 2006 by Ernst & Young, interviewed 441 senior decision-makers in large organizations in 16 countries, with the emphasis on the larger financial centers.

The guide is available from the RiskWatch website.
