IT Risk Management - Security in a Digitized World
What is IT risk management?
Identify threats, minimize damage
IT risk management refers to the structured process of identifying, assessing, and controlling risks in the IT sector. The goal is to recognize threats early, minimize damage, and secure business-critical processes.
The IT Risk Management Process includes technical, organizational, and strategic measures – from vulnerability analysis to emergency planning.
BIA
A professional BIA IT (Business Impact Analysis) is essential for identifying critical IT processes and their impacts on the business. concentrade helps you recognize risks, minimize downtime, and strengthen your IT security effectively. This ensures business continuity and creates a robust foundation for risk management and contingency planning.
Gap Analysis
A professional gap analysis in IT identifies discrepancies between the current IT state and the desired goals. concentrade assists companies in systematically identifying these gaps and developing targeted measures. This way, you improve your IT strategy, enhance efficiency, and ensure sustainable success.
IT-Vulnerability Analysis
Vulnerabilities in IT infrastructure often go unnoticed—until it’s too late. A professional IT vulnerability analysis is essential to identify security gaps early and minimize risks. In combination with an ISMS (Information Security Management System), the vulnerability analysis process is structured and transparent. Learn how concentrade supports your organization in detecting threats and improving security standards effectively.
IT-Security-Assessments
IT security assessments are essential for identifying vulnerabilities, minimizing risks, and sustainably improving the security of IT infrastructure. Compared to traditional IT audits, they are more practice-oriented and provide concrete recommendations for action. With concentrade, companies receive customized analyses that highlight the current security status and meet compliance requirements.
ISMS
A functional ISMS (Information Security Management System) lays the foundation for a secure, compliant, and resilient IT environment. concentrade supports you from the very first step: from the current state analysis through the setup to a successful ISMS audit. This way, you gain transparency about your risks, enhance your security structure, and build trust with customers and partners.
Operational Risk
IT Operational Risk involves all risks arising from ongoing IT operations – from system failures to human errors. Without targeted risk management, companies jeopardize their processes, data, and reputation. concentrade supports you with IT Operational Risk Assessment, identifies vulnerabilities, and establishes effective protective measures. This way, you always maintain control.
Penetration Testing
A professional BIA IT (Business Impact Analysis) is essential for identifying critical IT processes and their impact on the company. concentrade supports you in recognizing risks, minimizing downtime, and strengthening your IT security effectively. This way, you ensure business continuity and create a resilient foundation for risk management and emergency planning.

What happens without IT risk management?
Companies without structured risk management expose themselves to significant dangers. Three typical scenarios

- Budget overruns in IT projects due to unforeseen complications.
- Reputation damage because security incidents become public.
With a professional risk management process, you can avoid these consequences and act proactively rather than reactively.
