Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT (CGEIT) — Question 83

For a large enterprise, which of the following is the BEST indicator that IT governance has a poor reputation?

Answer options

• A. Regulatory noncompliance
• B. Low attendance at strategy committee meetings
• C. High turnover of IT staff
• D. Data leakage

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Regulatory noncompliance is a critical indicator of poor IT governance because it suggests that the organization is failing to adhere to necessary laws and regulations, which can lead to severe consequences. While low attendance at meetings, high turnover of staff, and data leakage are concerning, they do not directly indicate the overarching governance issues that regulatory noncompliance does.
