IT governance — misunderstood, and yet indispensable!

You want your employees to give you their all? In that case, your IT services and tools must run like a Swiss watch!

Nowadays, reliable, high‑performance and up‑to‑date information systems are a cornerstone of all profitable organizations.

These organizations must also be able to rely on a strong governance program.

Information systems and a governance program: indeed, the growth rate and sustainability of your organization are largely dependant on these two factors.

What is governance?

In a nutshell, this essential activity — also called IT Governance — refers to the measures implemented to ensure and maintain the activities below in a continuous fashion:

Data security
Regulation of the security systems deployed
Compliance to existing standards

In today’s environment, marked notably by constant change and increasing security risks, a customized security program that is both structured and accountable is vital to the health of your IT department (and your company as a whole).

Your IT governance program ensures that you :

set out tactical and operational security rules (like implementing appropriate controls) according to your corporate objectives;
adopt best practices in cybersecurity;
ensure that the implementation of the normative framework is consistent;
guarantee compliance with standards.
