IT governance is the responsibility of executives and the board of directors, and consists of the leadership, organisational
structures and processes that ensure that the enterprise’s IT sustains and extends the organisation’s strategies and

Control Objectives for Information and related Technology (COBIT®) provides good practices across a domain and process

service delivery and provide a measure against which to judge when things do go wrong.
