ISO38500 ISO 38500 IT Governance Standard

We also offer a downloadable version of this standard - ISO/IEC 38500:2008.

ISO/IEC 38500:2008 provides guiding principles for directors of organisations on the effective, efficient, and acceptable use of information technology (IT). These principles are designed to be used within their organisations.

ISO/IEC 38500:2008 applies to the governance of management processes (and decisions). It relates to the information and communication services used by an organisation.

These processes could be controlled by IT specialists within the organisation or external service providers, or by business units within the organisation. It also provides guidance to those advising, informing, or assisting directors.

The individuals it will be of interest to include:

• Senior managers
• Members of groups monitoring the resources within the organisation
• External business or technical specialists- such as legal or accounting specialists- retail associations- or professional bodies
• Vendors of hardware- software- communications and other IT products

Key features and benefits:

• Advice and guidance that is provided is not only applicable to directors- but also to their associated members of staff
