Keeping Technology Aligned Across State Government
Technology decisions affect more than one agency. IT governance helps ensure systems work well together, follow state standards, and protect the information entrusted to us.
Understanding the Governance Framework
North Dakota law requires shared IT policies, standards, and guidelines. Developed with agencies, they help ensure technology across state government is secure, consistent, and effective.
IT principles guide how technology decisions are made across state government. They emphasize collaboration, security, simplicity, and making the best use of shared resources.
IT policies define the required rules for using technology across state agencies. These help ensure consistent practices for areas like security, data management, and emerging technologies.
IT standards define the technical requirements and best practices used across state government systems to ensure reliability, compatibility, and security.
IT guidelines provide practical recommendations to help agencies follow policies and standards when implementing technology solutions.
