Abstract

Information technology (IT) plays a critical role in enhancing organizational efficiency, accelerating decision-making, and strengthening competitiveness. However, as a core infrastructure, IT also introduces various risks that must be managed effectively to ensure business continuity. This study examines IT risk management at Company XYZ by integrating the ISO 31000 framework with the Monte Carlo Simulation method to quantify potential losses from 18 identified risk categories, including system failure, human error, cyberattacks, and natural disasters. To improve the interpretation and communication of risk outcomes, the research employs interactive data visualization using the Shiny dashboard (R). The simulation results show an average expected annual loss of IDR 478 million, with major risks originating from data corruption, backup failures, and cybercrime, while external factors such as earthquakes and fires also have significant impacts. This integrative approach demonstrates how ISO 31000, Monte Carlo Simulation, and interactive visualization can strengthen data-driven and transparent IT risk management for informed organizational decision-making. However, this study is limited to a single organizational case and simulated data assumptions, which may affect the generalizability of the findings.
