alfabet and Hoffmann Consulting deliver comprehensive GRC solution

alfabet is working together with Hoffmann Consulting, a consulting firm with seasoned professionals specializing in Governance Risk and Compliance Management for organizations, to deliver a comprehensive solution around GRC. The first step is the identification of the assets combined with an analysis of potential gaps between regulatory requirements and the current situation. The risk-based approach covers processes, capabilities, applications, services and infrastructures, their characteristics and interdependencies. Hoffmann Consulting’s approach is based on

  • Transparency
    Only with real-time, up-to-date information about an organization’s IT is an evaluation, proper planning, and active governance of IT possible. This also holds true for the optimization of IT costs and visibility into the value of IT for business processes.
  • Active risk-oriented governance
    Systemic IT risk management enables organizations to effectively take advantage of new opportunities and recognize risks on time.
  • Methods and current standards
    Certified consultants support customers based on the recognized IT governance standards COBIT (Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology) and COSO.
  • Experience
    International corporations work with Hoffmann Consulting to deliver compliance and risk management processes and systems tailored to their specific markets, cultures and structure. The solutions cover the requirements of ISO 27000, PCI SSC, MaRisk, MaRisk VA, Data Protection Act
  • Supporting tools
    In order to gather the right information around these items and conduct the proper analysis, a system of reference is required. alfabet‘s planningIT is THE single system of reference for IT risk management and compliance initiatives. It provides comprehensive information and analysis on the IT landscape and allows integrated planning of mitigation actions.

Based on a proven best-practice approach, customers can identify and close the gaps in processes, procedures and systems with planningIT and thus guarantee the future compliance.
