IT Governance & Information Security - The Basics Explained

Introduction

IT governance ensures that computers, networks and indeed all things technology are managed internally in pursuit of a company’s mission and goals.

Information security rests on the concept of CIA (Confidentiality, Integrity & Availability) a security model that has been developed to help organisations think about various parts of IT security.

As the cyber security field evolves, organisations are turning to IT security benchmarks and accreditations such as Cyber Essentials to demonstrate that they are taking the proper steps to protect their computer systems and data.
