Information technology controls are policies, procedures, and technical measures designed to protect data integrity, confidentiality, and availability while managing information technology-related risks. Governance frameworks provide a structured approach to overseeing information technology operations, aligning them with business objectives, regulatory requirements, and best practices. Together, they ensure effective management, accountability, and compliance within an organisation’s information technology environment.

Our information technology controls and governance frameworks services focus on implementing robust policies and procedures to safeguard data and manage information technology risks effectively. We establish, maintain and review information technology controls and frameworks (e.g. COBIT, COSO and ITIL) to ensure effective governance and compliance with the applicable legal and regulatory framework [e.g. Sarbanes Oxley (SOX), Corporations Act 2001].

We assist you in selecting and implementing appropriate information technology governance and control frameworks tailored to your specific industry, regulatory requirements, and organisational goals. ​

Examples of frameworks we assist include COBIT (Control Objectives for Information and Related Technologies), ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library), COSO (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission), ISO 38500 (IT Governance), ISO 27001 (ISMS) .​

We identify gaps and deficiencies in your existing information technology controls and governance practices compared to control frameworks, industry standards, regulatory requirements, and best practices.​ Based on the findings, we provide recommendations and roadmaps for remediation and improvement.​

We develop, review, and enhance your information technology policies, procedures, and guidelines covering information security, data privacy, information technology  asset management, change management, incident response, and information technology risk management, ensuring alignment with regulatory requirements and industry standards.​

We design and implement effective information technology controls for your business, mitigating risks related to cyber security, data protection, information technology operations, compliance, and financial reporting. ​We design control activities, define control objectives, and establish control monitoring mechanisms.

We design information technology governance structures, including organisational roles and responsibilities, decision-making processes, oversight mechanisms, and accountability frameworks in line with best practices, industry standards and frameworks.​

We perform maturity assessments to evaluate the maturity level of your information technology governance and control environment compared to industry peers and best practices to identify areas for improvement and prioritise your initiatives.

We establish continuous monitoring and assurance mechanisms to assess the effectiveness of information technology controls, detect control failures and weaknesses, and provide timely insights for remediation. ​This involves implementing automated control monitoring tools, conducting periodic control testing, and performing independent assurance reviews.​

We develop and deliver training and awareness programs for your information technology staff, executives, and other stakeholders on information technology governance principles, control frameworks, regulatory requirements, and emerging technology risks, building a culture of accountability and compliance within the organisation.​
