ISACA's brand-new Risk IT framework is now available as a free download for members at www.isaca.org/riskit

Risk IT is a set of proven, real-world practices that helps organizations achieve their goals, seize opportunities and seek greater return with less risk. It allows enterprises to manage—and capitalize on—risk in the pursuit of their objectives. It extends COBIT, ISACA's globally recognized IT governance framework, and saves time, cost and effort by providing organizations with a way to focus effectively on IT-related business risk areas, including risks related to late project delivery, compliance, obsolete IT architecture and IT service delivery problems.

Risk IT complements and extends COBIT and Val IT, but also is highly effective as standalone guidance. A key aspect is that all enterprises using IT, whether one-person shops or multinational conglomerates, can benefit from Risk IT. It can also be customized for any type of enterprise in any geographic location.

A printed version of the Risk IT Framework can be purchased at www.isaca.org/bookstore.
