IT Risk and Compliance Report

I've scanned through an interesting report by the IT Policy Compliance Group which may be of interest to you. This is their annual report which looks at IT Governance, Risk and Compliance with a view to improving business results and mitigating financial risk.

Among their findings were that that firms with the most mature practices boasted:
> 96% lower financial losses from the loss or theft of customer data
> 50% less spent on regulatory compliance annually
> 17% higher revenues
> 14% higher profits
> 18% higher customer satisfaction rates
> 17% higher customer retention levels
