part of society and therefore has accountability towards

current and future stakeholders.

tick-box or compliance exercise, and at SekelaXabiso - we have

implemented systems and tools that assist our clients to achieve

the governance outcomes of:

• An ethical culture

effectiveness of the IT governance processes as follows:

• IT governance framework;

• IT risk management;

• IT strategic alignment;
