IT governance is about formulating policies, determining accurate metrics for measuring performance, and monitoring the results to verify policy compliance. IT Risk management assesses, measures and monitors IT operational and security risk. IT Compliance management ensures the implementation of governance objectives. Regulatory research, IT control design, assessing and reporting compliance are activities that form a part of IT Compliance.
