Establish risk reporting capabilities and responsibilities

Trigger: Leadership or regulatory mandates dictate the need for a formalized IT risk communication structure across the organization.

1. Identify key stakeholders and determine their specific IT risk information needs
2. Define key risk indicators (KRIs) and required reporting frequencies
3. Assign specific roles and responsibilities for risk data collection, analysis, and distribution
4. Design standardized risk reporting templates and executive dashboards
5. Deploy reporting mechanisms and secure communication channels
6. Validate reporting effectiveness and refine the process based on stakeholder feedback

Outcome: A standardized IT risk reporting framework is operationalized with clear metrics, templates, and assigned owners.
