The Toolkit contains the following practical and powerful enablers with new and updated Risk Based Controls specific requirements:

STEP 1: Get your bearings

Start with...


• The latest quick edition of the Risk Based Controls Self Assessment book in PDF containing 49 requirements to perform a quickscan, get an overview and share with stakeholders.


Organized in a data driven improvement cycle RDMAICS (Recognize, Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control and Sustain), check the…


• Example pre-filled Self-Assessment Excel Dashboard to get familiar with results generation


Then find your goals...

STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track

Featuring 998 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Risk Based Controls improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 998 standard requirements:


1. Do internal auditors have sufficient knowledge of key information technology risks and controls and available technology based audit techniques to perform the assigned work?
   
   

2. How do you demonstrate that a resolution was successfully achieved for all out of control factors or interventions that were recorded on the selected routine inspection?
   
   

3. Are encryption and key management systems, policies, and processes audited with a frequency proportional to the systems risk exposure, and after any security event?
   
   

4. Are reviews and revalidation of user access for least privilege and separation of duties completed with a frequency commensurate with organizational risk tolerance?
   
   

5. Are criteria for developing business continuity and operational resiliency strategies and capabilities established based on business disruption and risk impacts?
   
   

6. Is there a clear strategy to ensure that access to assets is controlled by policies based on a risk based decision derived from the context of user and device?
   
   

7. Will the control work every time – is it independent of the process, is it automated, does it prevent an issue, correct an issue or just identify an issue?
   
   

8. Is authorization from data owners obtained, and the associated risk managed, before replicating or using production data in non production environments?
   
   

9. Are cryptographic keys rotated based on a cryptoperiod calculated while considering information disclosure risks and legal and regulatory requirements?
   
   

10. Is a risk based corrective action plan to remediate audit findings established, documented, approved, communicated, applied, evaluated, and maintained?
