Risk
These business questions support you to accomplish continued business and IT innovation with the confidence of better compliance, decreased risk to critical applications and the technologies that provide them, and knowledge of the potential impact of IT security issues on critical business areas.
The business question How will IT failure impact our business? provides a high-level end-to-end view of your IT technology landscape. This offers insight to which business capabilities will fail due to an IT outage. The diagram highlights the susceptibility of locations and servers as well as the applications and the business capabilities that are at risk.
The business question Where do we use sensitive business data? examines the application portfolio and the business data that is created, read, updated, or deleted by your applications in a CRUD (C=Create, R=Read, U=Update, and D=Delete) matrix. The CRUD analysis identifies inconsistencies and redundancies in the way business data are used in the IT landscape and helps you to easily understand which applications process sensitive data, what kind of data is handled, and what the application does with this data.
