Most ERM Programs Overlook Digital Risks

Only 30% of enterprises are mature enough to actively mitigate digital risks, although over 90% of risk leaders have them on their radar, according to an AuditBoard survey of over 125 risk leaders conducted this spring — pointing to a gap in organizations’ ability to appropriately assess and manage these risks.

Many enterprises have accelerated investment in digital transformation initiatives to modernize, gain business efficiencies, and meet the demands of a dispersed pandemic environment. With this increasing digital dependence, organizations will likely need to mature their risk management programs to keep pace.
