Summary

To create value, the information should be governed within the organization so as to have a strategic alignment between the objectives of information security and those of the organization. Governance and management of information security should be conducted in complete synergy. The management should be responsible for the operation of information and reporting (idea of responsibility) to the governing body.

To achieve this, the organization can use standards, recommendations and other frameworks whose implementation will encourage its success.

It is in this spirit that Recommendation ITU-T X.1054 | ISO /IEC 27014 is implemented to the governance of information security of e-Council of Ministers in Burkina Faso.

This approach aims to be a case of best practice in the implementation of Recommendation ITU‑T X.1054 | ISO /IEC 27014. Here it is used as part of a unifying project gathering all members of the Government of Burkina Faso (Presidency, Prime Ministry, General Secretariat of the government and the Council of Ministers, all ministries). However, this Supplement could be applied to any type of organization.
