Integrating multiple models for definition of IT governance model for banking ITGSM

The regulations, guidelines and procedures defined to give support to organizations as regards Information Technology play a crucial role when any organization wants to carry out good corporative government. In its quest to ensure the suitable control and management of activities, processes and procedures, the banking sector is currently subject to the implementation and adoption of multiple models and standards. However, there is no single model that provides a unified solution, allowing there to be integrated and overall improvement of the processes used in this context. In our desire to offer a proposal which provides an Information Technology Governance Model for Banking (ITGSM), we have integrated six models which are related to this context; these are: BASEL II, COBIT 4.1, RISK IT, VAL IT, ISO 27 002 and ITIL V.3. We have taken into account the latest versions of the models. Moreover, considering that integration is an essential strategy for supporting the joining of multiple models in harmonization projects, we have defined a process to carry out out this purpose. This research intends to support banking organizations which are interested in introducing new processes, or improving their existing ones in specific areas such as maintaining IT governance, managing the investment of IT, IT risk, managing information security and the life cycle of IT services.
