What is ISO/IEC 38500?

ISO/IEC 38500 provides guiding principles for the governance of IT within organizations. It helps governing bodies evaluate, direct and monitor the use of technology so IT supports business objectives and is used effectively, efficiently and acceptably.

ISO 38500 is a governance guidance standard, not a typical certification standard. Its purpose is to help leaders make better technology decisions, assign accountability and ensure that IT investments deliver value while managing risk.

Why ISO 38500 is Important for Kuwait Businesses

Many organizations invest heavily in ERP, cloud, cybersecurity, digital platforms, automation, mobile applications and outsourced IT. Without governance, these investments may create unclear accountability, duplicated systems, cost overruns, vendor dependency, security gaps and poor alignment with business strategy.

ISO 38500 helps Kuwait-based organizations define who makes IT decisions, how technology risks are reviewed, how digital investments are approved and how management monitors performance, compliance and value from IT.
