Gone are the days when IT professionals are solely responsible for IT decisions. Increased regulations, innovations in technology and the integration of IT in all aspects of the organization have placed IT projects under bigger scrutiny. Key organizational stakeholders are playing a much larger part in IT decisions that are now aligned closely with business strategy and have a significant impact on an organization’s performance. 

The Governance Portal for Information Technology provides companies with the insight to improve security governance while facilitating compliance with policies and regulations in a cost-effective manner. A central IT model allows you to document, analyze and assess technology risks as they relate to your critical processes and organizations. An integrated audit capability within the Portal allows your audit department to weigh in and provide insight into your risk environment.  The Governance Portal for Information Technology helps you quickly move forward with information protection programs by providing out-of-the-box risk, control and test libraries for ISO27001, PCI, and asset risk management while also facilitating assessment across a number of other international regulations and standards including the EU Data Directive, GLBA, HIPAA, AICPA, and PIPEDA.

The Governance Portal for Information Technology allows you to:

1. Inventory your IT landscape including processes, systems and applications providing a central repository for your IT assets.
2. Conduct diagnostics and complete scoping exercises that help you identify high-risk IT areas that affect your core organization and business processes.
3. Create IT process documentation, policy and objectives and link these to key business strategies and objectives that may affect your organizational performance.
4. Test general computing controls and assess the impact of these controls on key business processes.
5. Remediate issues and risks through action plans and tasks generated through automatic email notification, simplifying the end user experience.
6. Evaluate the effectiveness of the IT organization relative to your strategic objectives.
