IT governance refers to the procedures implemented to manage information technology and the increasing value obtained from investing in information and technology (Joshi, Bollen, Hassink, Haes & Grembergen, (2018). It is made up of frameworks whose aim is to increase the management of risks arising due to the use of information technology. It aims at ensuring that information technology is used to increase the likelihood of achieving objectives for the business. IT governance is essential in allowing companies to be compliant with legal guidelines; for instance, those contained in companies act. It provides a likelihood of an increase in the investments made by a company regarding information technology.

Many factors fueled the need for adoption of IT governance. The first factor is the increase in the number of risks facing information technology. The increased legal risks due to the lack of compliance of guidelines is another critical factor that contributed to a need for IT governance. The ability of IT governance to reduce the costs used in coming up with new inventions increased its adoption. Many companies make use of a lot of resources for discovery.

ISO provides guidelines meant to increase security (Santi, 2018). Its primary role is the provision of guidance concerning aspects of security. It offers advice on how to operate manage and make use of the networks effectively. It also provides guidelines on how the systems can be used effectively to increase security. The ISO also provides guidelines regulating the implementation of controls. Therefore, ISO has dramatically affected the standards of network security by increasing the protection of the networks. It is through the guidelines it provides that aims at expanding the manner at which the network security is designed. It also provides an outline of how the implementation should be carried out to increase network security. It increased standards by developing secure communications interconnecting networks. It is through the provision of very secure gateways.
