Frequently Asked Questions
01 Do we need IT governance even if we already have an ISMS?
Yes. An ISMS defines security measures and controls, but IT governance determines who manages, monitors and develops them further. Governance is the strategic layer above the ISMS.
02 What size of organization is IT governance relevant for?
Fundamentally for any organization that takes IT security seriously. From a certain size or with regulatory requirements (NIS2, critical infrastructure), a formal governance structure becomes virtually indispensable.
03 How long does IT governance consulting take?
Depending on the starting situation and scope, typically 4–12 weeks. The assessment and target architecture are usually completed within a few weeks, while implementation support continues as needed.
04 Can you also optimize existing governance structures?
Absolutely. We work with organizations starting from scratch as well as those looking to sharpen existing structures or adapt them to new regulatory requirements.
