ABSTRACT
Federal regulations, business competition, complex information and communication technologies, and
expanded worldwide connectivity increase the risks associated with doing business. The IT Governance
Institute (ITGI) was established to
† Raise awareness and understanding of enterprise business and technology risks
† Provide guidance and tools to those responsible for information technology (IT) at all levels
† Enable those professionals to conduct their responsibilities in such a manner that IT meets and
exceeds internal (business) and external (federal) requirements
† Empower those professionals in the mitigation of their business process-related risks through the
provision of pertinent publications based on extensive, focused, applied (as opposed to basic)
research [1].
