The IT Governance certification is intended to recognize a wide range of professionals for their knowledge and application of IT governance principles and practices. Many CGEIT certificates have been awarded. It is designed for professionals who have management, advisory, or assurance responsibilities as defined by a “job practice” consisting of IT governance related tasks and knowledge. Earning this designation will enable professionals to respond to the growing business demand for a comprehensive IT governance program that defines responsibility and accountability across the entire enterprise.
The job profile of the CGEIT (Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT) published in 2008 is the consistent enhancement of the initiative started in the area of IT governance: at that time, the IT Governance Institute was founded and the first COBIT version published as a synthesis of more than 30 national and international standards. The manifold, since then published ITGI documents, covering all aspects of IT governance, as well as the numerous certified CGEITs reflect the relevance of the consistent expansion of governance in information technology.
