Risk management is important due to increased cyber incidents, continually emerging cyber threats, and the need to prevent federal tax information (FTI) breaches. Safeguards follows a multiphase, risk-based initiative to provide more attention to higher-risk agencies. Safeguards collects most of the data used for risk management during on-site reviews, remote assessments, out-of-cycle reviews and agency reports (CAPs and SSRs). For those who were unable to attend the Safeguards Office Hours call we have provided links to documents associated with the call. Risk Management Office Hour Call Presentation PDF Slide presentation that was given on the call. Risk Management Office Hour Call Notes PDF The Question and Answer portions of each call.
