What teams need to do

  • Confirm the current TM-G-1 module version.
  • Map systems, data, providers, access, recovery requirements, and business services.
  • Maintain controls for access, vulnerability, patching, logging, backup, change, and incident

response.

  • Review technology outsourcing and cloud providers.
  • Preserve assurance, remediation, and reporting evidence.

Evidence to maintain

  • Technology risk policies and system inventory.
  • Provider and cloud records.
  • Access, vulnerability, incident, recovery, testing, and audit evidence.
  • Monitoring and remediation.

Common gaps

  • Technology providers are not linked to system criticality.
  • Cloud dependencies are not connected to recovery planning.
  • Incidents do not update provider risk.
