Two Systems, One Goal: Why ERM and ISM Belong Together

ERM and ISM have a lot in common: Both are hazard-based, follow clear processes for assessing and controlling risks, and rely on regular reviews and continuous improvement. When you bring these two systems together, you don’t just protect your business from immediate threats but lay the foundation for long-term resilience. From market shifts and liquidity risks to cybersecurity threats and legal challenges, taking a combined look at business and IT risks helps you build a strong, company-wide understanding of risk. An awareness that not only safeguards your organization today but also prepares it for the challenges of tomorrow.

Content

In many organizations, ERM and ISM are still treated as completely separate areas. In practice, this often means that ISM is seen as a purely technical topic, while ERM focuses more on strategic and operational risks. At first, this split might seem to make sense, but in reality, it leads to all sorts of problems: duplicate recognition of risk, communication gaps, inefficient planning, and limited control over risks.

Real resilience only happens when processes, responsibilities, and data from both areas are seamlessly connected, coordinated, and managed as a whole. The good news? ERM and ISM ERM and ISM complement each other perfectly – especially when they’re brought together on one shared platform, as just coordinating on an organizational level isn’t enough. What’s really needed is deeper integration – both in terms of content and technology.

Want to see how this works in practice? Meet our fictional company, 4WHEELS Automotive AG, and discover how easy it can be to bring ERM and ISM together – and what your organization can gain from it.

Here’s what you’ll learn in the webinar:

  • How to build an information security management system based on ISO 27001 and the BSI IT-Grundschutz framework
  • How ERM can benefit from integrating ISM risks – and how these risks can be simulated using modern technology
  • How a closed-loop process (from identifying threats to optimizing risk processes) can be managed centrally in a GRC framework
  • How security incidents don’t just trigger a response, but lead directly to improvements in your system

Tap into our expertise and see how easy it is to bring ERM and ISM together in your organization – a smart move toward building real resilience, especially in uncertain times.

Join us easily from your desk or on the go, and ask your questions live to our GRC experts. The webinar is hosted on the video platform Wistia and is free of charge.
