Building a Strong Cyber Defence

The Importance of an IT policy

The IT policy provides an overall guidance, consistency, accountability, efficiency, and clarity on how your organisation manages the corporate IT assets and protect the information resources. For your staff, the IT policy act as a guide that clearly spells out the safe and acceptable ways they can leverage on your firm’s IT assets and new technologies like ChatGPT or other GenAI, to collaborate securely, stay competitive and thrive in today’s digital environment.

Having zero or outdated policies puts your organisation at risk to cyberattacks and data breaches.

To keep up with the ever-changing regulatory standards and rising cyber risks, it is vital to review and update your IT policy at least once a year or whenever a major change occurs in the business that would impact the risk of your organisation.

How RSM can help with IT Policy Advisory and Implementation?

At RSM, we understand every business is unique, and while our IT policy provides the IT governance baseline, our approach is not a “tick-box” manner and it will differ for every organisation.

As part of our IT Managed Services, your RSM journey with us begins with a consultation to assess whether your current IT policy and SOPs are effective in meeting internal / external IT compliance requirements and best practices

Aligning and prioritising your business and IT goals, we will then provide guidance to help you operationalise these best practices by systematically integrating SOPs into the daily activities and culture of your organisation with the least amount of business disruptions and staff resistance.

Lastly to ensure continuous compliance, we will develop monitoring and control measures and streamlined IT workflows to ensure your organisation realises the sustained benefits of having proper IT governance.
