Every Organization
Large or small, public or private - needs a way to ensure that the IT function sustains the organization’s strategies and objectives. The level of sophistication you apply to IT governance, however, may vary according to size, industry or applicable regulations.
Companies today are subject to many regulations governing data retention, confidential information, financial accountability and recovery from disasters. While none of these regulations mandates an IT governance framework, many companies have found it to be an excellent way to ensure regulatory compliance. By implementing IT governance, you’ll have the internal controls you need to meet the core guidelines of many regulations, such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
The primary goals of IT governance are (1) assure that the investments in IT generate business value, and (2) mitigate the risks that are associated with IT. This can be done by implementing an organizational structure with well-defined roles for the responsibility of information, business processes, applications and infrastructure.
