IT-Governance as a Success Factor for Modern Companies
What is IT Governance and why is it essential?
IT governance refers to the leadership, organization, and oversight of IT within a company – in close alignment with corporate goals. The aim is to utilize IT resources effectively, manage risks, comply with legal requirements, and enhance value creation.
Key Objectives of IT Governance:
- Ensuring IT Compliance
- Strategic Alignment of IT with Business Processes
- Risk minimization and stability
- Efficiency and cost transparency
- Increase in business agility
What happens when IT governance is lacking?
Lack of or insufficient IT governance can have serious consequences. Three realistic scenarios:
Security Risks and Data Loss
Without clear guidelines, risks remain undiscovered – Cyberattacks, data loss, or violations of data protection laws are often the result.
Strategy recommendation
The IT operates in isolation from the business strategy. Investments fade away, projects fail, and innovations are missed.
Compliance Violations
Lack of traceability in IT processes leads to issues during audits, penalties, and loss of reputation.
concentrade creates a bridge between technology, management, and security with thoughtful IT governance – effectively preventing these scenarios.
