Information Security Scholarships | Undergraduate, Women, More | (ISC)² Corporate governance of information technology. Information and technology (IT) governance is a subset discipline of corporate governance, focused on information and technology (IT) and its performance and risk management. The interest in IT governance is due to the on-going need within organisations to focus value creation efforts on an organisation's strategic objectives and to better manage the performance of those responsible for creating this value in the best interest of all stakeholders.
