IT KORR Operating Model
The Operating Model for Financial Services Organizations
Infrastructure oversight, endpoint management, and Microsoft 365 administration across financial advisory and services environments.
Access logging, periodic access review, and identity governance aligned to financial services data protection expectations.
Vendor oversight, data retention and residency policy alignment, and documented IT policy across the organization.
IT continuity planning built around client-facing operations, so service disruptions don't become client-facing incidents.
Common Transformation Pattern
From Informal Oversight to Structured IT Governance
Access reviews happen informally, if at all
Documented, recurring access review governanceVendor access to client and firm data is untracked
Formal vendor and third-party access oversightContinuity plans exist only informally
Documented continuity planning for client-facing operationsMicrosoft 365 configured ad hoc over time
Microsoft 365 aligned to data governance requirements
