Governance of IT: An Executive Guide to ISO/IEC 38500

Directors and government ministers across the world are increasingly being held accountable for failed IT systems, data loss and poor decisions about their organisations data. The answer lies in IT professionals working in parallel with their governing body to create an environment where information and information systems can be accessed and used by the appropriate stakeholders. Written in two halves, this valuable book is designed to bridge the gap between the governing body and CIOs/ IT managers. It will help them to create a safe and robust governance framework for their organisation by applying the principles of the ISO IT Governance Standard 38500 on directing, evaluating and monitoring IT activity.
