IT Governance and Security Strategy
Justus Liebig University Giessen strategically developed two fields of action, IT governance and IT security, as part of an externally evaluated process. The main results are summarized in the IT Governance and Security Strategy.
While fulfilling these tasks, JLU must also ensure that all information and data entrusted to it can be handled with confidence and processed correctly. IT security is therefore an integral, overarching component of the infrastructural and methodological nature and development of digital transformation in research, teaching, and administration.
For these reasons, JLU began a comprehensive process to continuously develop its IT strategy. The university subjected its HRZ to a multi-stage review process. Subsidized via the program Strengthening the Strategic Capability of Hessian Universities, JLU collaborated with external consultants KPMG AG (IT governance) and xiv-consult GmbH (IT security) to evaluate its status quo and develop a sustainable IT governance and security strategy with explicit recommendations for action based on these results. Implementing this strategy is specifically intended to impact all internal processes and will affect all university departments from its computer center operations, to its administration, faculties, and centers.
