A Unique and Straightforward Approach to IT Governance

This Toolkit is a collection of Microsoft Word forms, templates and instructional documents that help you assess and establish the crucial policies that you need to operate a secure and compliant IT organization. In this unique approach, you will use a checklist to determine how much IT governance is in place and what gaps you need to fill. Once you establish the gaps, you will quickly fill those gaps by using the policy templates provided. Each policy template consists of a scope statement and instructions to help you define the policy.
