The IT governance and compliance needs of businesses vary widely. For small businesses, IT governance is often an informal process for the management of services that support the business. For larger companies, IT governance is a framework – a significant set of policies, procedures, and controls – that is applied organization-wide to enforce corporate standards and assure regulatory compliance.
