ISACA's IT Governance Certification |
| |
|
Boards and executive management have long understood
the need for enterprise and corporate governance. As
information technology (IT) has become more important to
the achievement of enterprise goals and delivery of
benefits, there has been an increasing realization that
governance must be extended to IT as well. IT governance
is an integral part of enterprise governance and
consists of the leadership and organizational structures
and processes that ensure that the organization’s IT
sustains and extends the organization’s strategies and
objectives.
ISACA recognized this shift in emphasis in 1998, and
formed the IT Governance Institute (ITGI) to focus on
original research, publications, resources and symposia
on IT governance and related topics. To support and
promote this significant body of work, ISACA and the
ITGI are proud to offer a certification program for
professionals charged with satisfying the IT governance
needs of an enterprise.
Taking a lead role in the establishment and management
of information technology infrastructure and processes,
individuals playing a role in IT governance provide
significant support to the Board of Directors and
executive management. The certification program
recognizes those who have the necessary level of
professional knowledge, personal skills, and business
experience to maximize the contribution made by
information technology to an enterprise's success while
managing and mitigating risks posed by IT.
This certification will benefit the individual, through
recognition of their professional knowledge and
competencies; skill-sets; abilities and experiences, and
will enhance their professional standing. It will also
add value to the enterprises they support through the
demonstration of a visible commitment to excellence in
IT governance practices.
The certification process has been specifically
developed for professionals who have a significant
management, advisory, or assurance role relating to the
governance of IT. The certification promotes the
advancement of professionals who wish to be recognized
for their IT governance-related experience and
knowledge.
The certification is also intended to:
- support the growing business demands related to
IT governance
- increase the awareness and importance of IT
governance good practices and issues
- define the roles and responsibilities of the
professionals performing IT governance work
