Risk Advisory and Technology Management

Compliance, RAS e Internal Audit

AMONG RISK ADVISORY SERVICES, WE SUPPORT THE INTERNAL AUDIT FUNCTION OR, IN CASE THE INTERNAL AUDIT FUNCTION HAS NOT BEEN APPOINTED, OUR RISK MANAGEMENT SPECIALISTS ARE AVAILABLE TO TAKE THE FULL OUTSOURCING OF THE INTERNAL AUDIT FUNCTION. IN ADDITION OUR RISK MANAGEMENT SPECIALISTS ASSIST OUR CLIENTS TO DESIGN AN EFFECTIVE INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT AND PROVIDE INDEPENDENT CERTIFICATIONS ON THE DESIGN AND EFFECTIVENESS OF THE INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM (ISAE 3402, SSAE16).

Risk advisory and risk management services and solutions also include checks and activities on the company information systems. The information system (including technological resources - hardware, software, data, electronic documents, telematic networks - and human resources dedicated to their administration) represents a key element of the internal control system and for the business of the company. The planning of inspections ensures adequate coverage of the various applications, infrastructures and management processes over time, including any outsourced components. The IS Audit is able to provide assessments on the principal identifiable technological risks and on the overall IT risk management, also in accordance with the requirements for banks issued by the Bank of Italy (Banca d’Italia).

Data Protection e Data Security

SOCIAL MEDIA, COOKIES, VIDEO SURVEILLANCE, ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR DAILY LIFE BUT CAN POSE A RISK TO PRIVACY. HOWEVER, DESPITE THE INTEREST IN THE SUBJECT OF DATA PRIVACY HAS SEEN SIGNIFICANT GROWTH IN RECENT TIMES, MOST PEOPLE ARE FAR FROM HAVING A GOOD KNOWLEDGE OF THE SUBJECT AND THE IMPLICATIONS THAT THE USE OF TECHNOLOGIES HAVE IN LIFE DAILY. As part of our risk advisory services, we’ll educate you on data protection, the implications of using the technology to run your business, and, importantly, how to stay protected and manage risk.

Why is it important to have control over the managed information assets?

The issue of privacy and protection of personal data involves not only users and consumers but inevitably also companies, regardless of their size, because they find themselves having to manage their own information and those relating to their customers every day.

Being able to do this safely and manage risks related to privacy and protection of personal data is essential for various reasons: 

• to avoid incurring onerous penalties, both in civil and criminal matters, an eventuality that would inevitably also damage the reputation of the company

• guaranteeing security in this area to its customers and the ability to respond to requests that can be made by the Authority.

A complex and constantly evolving regulatory context

The regulatory context relating to data protection is particularly complex and constantly evolving, as both the requirements introduced by the regulation itself and those relating to Italian legislation (Code and specific Measures) are mandatory.

Added to this are rapid technological development and the increasing attention that users and consumers attach to the protection of their data, with a consequent increase in the risks deriving from the processing of the latter.
