AS 8015-2005: Australian Standard for Corporate Governance of Information and Communication Technology is a technical standard developed by Standards Australia Committee IT-030 and published in January 2005. The standard provides principles, a model and vocabulary as a basic framework for implementing effective corporate governance of information and communication technology (ICT) within any organization. The standard was the first “to describe governance of IT without resorting to descriptions of management systems and processes“. AS 8105 later became the catalyst and main infrastructure for the creation of the international [ISO/IEC 38500:2008] Information technology — Governance of IT for the organization standard.
