Governance of IT is the system of controlling or directing the Information Technology in an organisation. It is getting value from your IT. It is reducing the risks associated with IT. It is ensuring compliance with the multitude of laws and regulations surrounding your use of IT.

It is vital to small and medium organisations. Small and medium organisations do not often have the resources to effectively manage their IT. They often delegate management to others. Providing a framework for those others to work within is Governance.

Security of Information, in its widest sense, is becoming a major compliance issue.

In schools there is a significant separation between those responsible for governance and those managing IT. The issues are similar but the consequences can be far more profound.

John Graham, our Principal Consultant, is a leader in Australian thought on the governance of IT. He also has wide experience in both schools, small and medium organisations. He is one of the primary authors of the Australian Standard, AS 8015:2005 Corporate governance of information and communication technology, which has been adopted as a ISO/IEC standard (ISO/IEC 38500:2008.

John is a member of the ISO/IEC JTC1 Study Group on IT Governance and has been nominated as an Australian Expert to the IT Governance and IT Service Management working groups of ISO/IEC JTC1 SC7. He has recently returned from the meetings of these groups in Berlin. He is also a member of Standards Australia Technical Committees IT-030 IT Governance and Management and IT-012 IT Security and Identity Management.
