ISO/IEC 38500:2024 · Governance of IT · Evidence & Implementation Kit
Let the board actually govern IT, with the ISO 38500 principles and model as controls you can adopt and evidence.
Every IT governance principle and task handed to you as an adopt-ready control, with the governing-body nuance, the exact evidence an assessor examines, and the finding they most often raise.
Governance-ready in a weekend, not a quarter.

Here is the honest situation. Boards are accountable for the use of IT, but most govern it by anecdote, without a model. ISO 38500 gives them one: six principles and the evaluate, direct and monitor model. The hard part is operationalizing it, the board-level evaluation and direction, the reporting that gives visibility, and the clean split from management, all evidenced. Building that from a guidance document is weeks of work, and without it IT decisions happen without real oversight.

This Kit removes the interpretation. It is the ISO 38500 principles, model and tasks as adopt-ready controls you personalize in a weekend.

What you get, the moment you buy

7
IT governance principles. Each principle as an adopt-ready control, from responsibility and strategy to conformance and human behaviour, so the board governs IT consistently.
19
Model, tasks and relationships. The evaluate-direct-monitor model, its application across strategy, investment, risk and resources, and the clean split between governance and management.
1
38500 Control Matrix, pre-built. Every control in a working spreadsheet, ready to record your implementation, status and evidence location.
1
Gap & Readiness Assessment. Score each control and the workbook tells you your readiness as a single percentage, and exactly what to fix next.

Grounded in ISO/IEC 38500 and the evaluate-direct-monitor model, aligned with ISO/IEC 27014 for security governance, with the board-level reporting and the governance-management split called out. Editable Word and Excel files.

Govern the use of IT, not the IT team
ISO 38500 is about the governing body: how the board evaluates the use of IT, directs strategy and investment, and monitors performance and conformance. This Kit builds the oversight and reporting that make that real, so IT decisions get genuine governance, not just management.

What one control looks like

This is the first principle, responsibility for the use of IT. All 26 controls are built to this depth.

GIT-1 Responsibility for the use of IT PRINCIPLES OF IT GOVERNANCE
Adopt this control

The [Governing body] shall establish and communicate clear responsibilities for the governance and use of IT, ensuring that those who accept responsibilities also hold the corresponding authority to perform them. Individuals and groups understand what they are accountable for across supply and demand of IT, and accepted responsibilities are documented and periodically reviewed.

Evidence an assessor examines
  • Documented allocation of IT governance responsibilities and decision rights
  • Board or committee terms of reference referencing IT accountability
  • Records showing authority granted matches responsibilities accepted
  • Role descriptions covering both demand and supply side of IT
Common finding they raise: Responsibilities for IT decisions are assumed rather than explicitly assigned, so accountability disperses when problems arise.

Why this is not another template pack

  • The evidence is the point. A governance charter is not oversight. This tells you exactly what an assessor examines and the finding they raise, for every principle and task, including the board-level reporting.
  • Principles and model together. The six principles and the evaluate-direct-monitor model, applied across strategy, investment, risk and resources, so governance is practiced, not published.
  • Built on a mapped compliance corpus, not one person's opinion, from a graph of thousands of controls across standards.
  • It compounds. ISO 38500 aligns with ISO 27014 security governance and COBIT, so your IT and security governance share one model.

Who buys this

Boards and executives accountable for IT, CIOs who report to them, internal auditors, and consultants standing up IT governance. Whether it is a first governance framework or a maturity uplift, you save weeks and walk in with the principles, model and evidence structured.

By the end of the weekend you will have
✓  A control for every ISO 38500 principle and task
✓  A completed 38500 control matrix
✓  The evidence an assessor examines
✓  Your board-level oversight and reporting anchored
✓  A readiness percentage and a fix list
✓  The common findings closed before a review

Common questions

Is it really editable? Yes. Word and Excel files you own and adapt. No portal, no subscription.

Is 38500 certifiable? It is a guidance standard, not certifiable on its own. This Kit gives you an adoptable, auditable IT governance model that satisfies board-oversight expectations and aligns with COBIT.

How does it relate to ISO 27014? 38500 governs the use of IT broadly; 27014 governs information security specifically, on the same evaluate-direct-monitor basis. This Kit aligns with both.

Does it cover the board's role? Yes. The governing body's evaluate, direct and monitor responsibilities across IT are the core of the Kit.
