What is ISO 38500:2015?

ISO/IEC 38500:2015 is a globally recognized standard that provides a framework for the effective governance of IT. It applies to all organizations—regardless of size, type, or sector—and helps leadership understand their responsibilities in guiding, monitoring, and evaluating the use of IT. This standard emphasizes six principles: responsibility, strategy, acquisition, performance, conformance, and human behavior.

As a consulting partner, Growth Management Corporation assists organizations in understanding, implementing, and aligning with the ISO 38500 governance model to strengthen leadership accountability and IT decision-making processes.
