business document and not a technical one. There are numerous

amount and type of security required are 
dependent on the governance needs.

under. For example- national, state, local, 
industry, etc, and use them to decide how this will 
affect your IT strategy.

Doing Strategic IT Planning and 
Management helps to define your IT vision 
and gives a roadmap for utilizing IT to create 
organizational value. Your infrastructure and 
management components are a significant 
part of that roadmap. Ensure that these 
items are defined accurately in your 
environments, as your IT vision and strategy 
will rely on them.
