The focus of IT governance has grown with the administration and directives of IT risk management and Sarbanes-Oxley issues in the United States, as well as Basil II issues in Europe. Most corporations, institutions and government agencies have engaged in the practice of managing IT systems from a performance and risk management basis that measures the overall integration of enterprise practices and objectives through to the very fibers of internal technology standards and practices.
If your role within your organization is that of CEO, business executive, CIO, IT steering committee member, technology council, or a member of your IT architecture review board, an IT governance program must remain a focal point of corporate responsibility.
Those who are involved and are at the forefront of IT Governance must maintain an awareness that IT governance and policies meet and exceed expectations, and the risks to both infrastructure and data assets are mitigated through proper IT controls and assurance measures.
