Structuration analysis of factors influencing Risk Management System deployment

In the last two decades, reliance on computerised systems has increased rapidly. Some organisations depend totally on computerised information systems to carry out their operations as well as to process, maintain, and report essential information. However, the reliability of computerised data has become a major concern to risk management. Due to the degree of reliance on information systems, risk management has become an increasingly essential part of most organisations' daily operations. If potential risks are not managed, it could have a major impact on the organisation's strategic objectives and could manifest in the derailment of the entire organisation's processes and activities. This study used case study research method to investigate and understand how IS risks are managed in the organisation and how Risk Management Systems (RMS) are deployed. Structuration Theory (ST) was employed for the analysis of the data collected.
