A company's top management typically ensures that computer software and hardware mechanisms are adequate, functional and in adherence with regulatory guidelines and industry practices. Nowadays, due to depressed economic and increased intensity of performed operations, business highly recognizes the influence of effective Information Technology risk management on profitability. The purpose of this paper is to develop IT risks assessment systems support functional model, based on analysis of IT risks and assessment mechanisms, IT governance and risk management frameworks, functional analysis of IT risks assessment and management software, and, finally, to develop IT risk management domain specification language with a metamodel that defines an abstract UML based language for supporting model-based risk assessment.
