Information Technology (IT) has become critical to the operations and competitiveness of organisations around the world. The challenge for IT executives now is to be able to demonstrate competence not only in technology, but also in financial matters, operations and the execution of business processes. In recent years, executives have increasingly placed IT under the spotlight to account for the organisation’s expenditure and to demonstrate business value. It is not surprising when considering that the estimated average total IT spend for 2006 is $38 million (source: Gartner), and that the South African banking survey estimated that the IT spend for the big four banks amounted to $500 million in 2005.
As technology is still viewed in certain sectors as a major driver for change, it further reinforces the importance of IT and security to illustrate value, and to be properly governed.
Considering the factors above and the reactive nature of companies to IT and security issues, it is understandable that in today’s regulatory compliance environment, senior executives have serious, valid concerns about the risks IT poses in their organisations and the accountability of costs.
