      Organizations increasingly rely on technology and IT services to transform, drive growth and earn stakeholder trust. However, the extensive use of IT means that data privacy, cybersecurity, cloud implementation, third-party assurance and aging IT infrastructure and applications, all pose potential risks. Business continuity, regulatory confidence and stakeholder trust could all be affected. These fast-evolving risks must be addressed by well-designed and carefully implemented risk controls. This is crucial to minimize any loss of critical services, financial damage, harm to customers, regulatory failures, or negative reputational impact.

      KPMG professionals help you to analyze any technology vulnerabilities in your organization and build a holistic approach to mitigating risks.  We bring business and sector knowledge, as well as specialist IT skills to every engagement. We are software sector agnostic, so we help you identify the best approach for your needs with a strong focus on integrating stakeholder trust. 

      How can we help

      KPMG technology risk professionals can help you manage IT risks, enhance compliance and navigate regulatory challenges. Through modernization, agile practices and an integrated framework, we can help you establish secure technology adoption and assist in IT control optimization, compliance demands and cyber risk anticipation, fostering trusted technological advancement.


      In a world where organisations increasingly rely on technology and digital services to engage customers better, drive revenue growth, gain efficiencies and ensure compliance, they need more than just the implementation of technical controls. They need to establish and maintain trust with their stakeholders through diligent use of information and digital services.”

      Latest thinking

      According to Marcelo Vieira, Partner at KPMG South Africa, digital trust generally is associated with an organisation’s ability to protect and defend against cyber threats. However, this should not be viewed as a siloed cybersecurity agenda or a technical add-on, but as business enabler for a trusted digital economy.

       

                                                                                                                                                         

      According to Pranesh Kara, Head of Digital Risk Transformation and Trusted AI at KPMG: “Organisations are expanding their AI use cases and taking a more strategic approach to governance. They need robust AI frameworks that accelerate innovation, manage risk and strengthen transparency. But, to scale AI and autonomous agents with confidence, organisations must also embed trust across every stage of the life cycle to turn responsible AI principles into practical action that unlocks measurable and sustainable business value.”
