Governance, Policies & Procedures

Governance, as defined by the IT Governance Institute (ITGI), is the “set of responsibilities and practices exercised by the board and executive management with the goal of providing strategic direction, ensuring that objectives are achieved, ascertaining that risks are managed appropriately, and verifying that the enterprise’s resources are used responsibly.” In the modern digital era, security governance has become a critical component of organizational success, ensuring that cybersecurity is not just an IT issue, but a core business priority.
