Advantage through governance

Technology Governance

Organisational risk is increased through compliance obligations, dependencies on changing technology and partner risks such as outsourcing. Unmanaged, these dependencies can expose the organisation to:

  • damage to reputation
  • reduced service levels
  • increased customer churn rates
  • civil litigation
  • criminal prosecution of accountable staff
  • reduced systems availability

PreterLex's technology governance approach identifies the key areas of compliance, policy management, organisation and disclosure that protect the client's technology and digital assets. We achieve this through:

  • strategic review of existing governance processes
  • identifying and assessing the organisation's technology risk profile
  • alignment with audit and risk management requirements
  • identifying industry standards and aligning the organisation's technology governance requirements with them
  • integrating approved product, services and technology sets with other areas of the business such as finance, procurement and training
  • mapping internal standards and policies to external industry frameworks
  • processes to ensure continuing compliance with the relevant regulations, standards and architectures
  • continuous assessment of change

Managing risk through technology governance is an essential operational requirement.

Technology governance must become a core competency for the organisation.
