GV.RM-07 - Embracing Strategic Opportunities in Risk Management
GV.RM-07 recognizes that not all risks are negative, encouraging organizations to identify and discuss strategic opportunities, or “positive risks,” alongside threats. These might include adopting new technologies or expanding services, which could enhance capabilities despite introducing risks. Including these in risk discussions ensures a balanced perspective that considers potential benefits.
This subcategory promotes methods like SWOT analysis to characterize opportunities and integrate them into risk planning, prioritizing them alongside threats. It fosters innovation by encouraging calculated risk-taking within a cybersecurity context. GV.RM-07 broadens the scope of risk management to support organizational growth and resilience.
