IT Governance
IT governance is a tool that organizations use to adjust the IT approach to align with business techniques. Organizations that can implement a business-IT alignment structure find it easy achieving overall business goals. Such organizations create an environment that enable employees to adapt and adopt certain tools and processes that support IT success. (Amali et al., 2018). IT governance has become an essential approach to organizational success because of various factors that depend on it.
One of the factors that necessitate the implementation of IT governance is an organization’s management and leadership structure and how it affects important decisions. When an organization’s able to establish an effective management and leadership structure, it can easily align new processes with the existing framework Therefore, future integration of multiple frameworks can only be effective with established IT governance since organizations can accommodate growing IT capabilities.
It governance is also vital in enabling organizations adopt a culture that accommodates change. Change has been considered as a threat to growth because most employees are never open to accommodate change depending on organizational culture. IT governance enables organizations to address change in culture through efficient planning and effective communication strategies. The aspect of communication plays a significant role in accelerating the adoption of new management processes.
Network security is a critical part of IT governance. The rapid increase of network attacks that compromise information security has seen most organizations implement the ISO 2701 standard. The standard is among the strategies used to enhance the level of preparedness in organizations in protecting their systems against cyberattacks. These standards affect network security describing specific principles that investigations associated with internet crimes should follow (Kao, 2017). Examples of investigation regarding network security include data beaches, unauthorized access, and crash in systems.
