Partners and Associations
ITGI
CA is an IT Governance Institute (ITGI) sponsor. ITGI was established in 1998 in recognition of the increasing criticality of information technology to enterprise success. In many organizations, success depends on the ability of IT to enable achievement of business goals. In such an environment, governance over IT is as critical a board and management discipline as corporate governance or enterprise governance. Effective IT governance helps ensure that IT supports business goals, maximizes business investment in IT, and appropriately manages IT-related risks and opportunities. ITGI is a research think tank that exists to be the leading reference on IT-enabled business systems governance for the global business community. ITGI aims to benefit enterprises by assisting enterprise leaders in their responsibility to make IT successful in supporting the enterprise's mission and goals. By conducting original research on IT governance and related topics, ITGI helps enterprise leaders understand and have the tools to ensure effective governance over IT within their enterprise.

Unified Compliance Framework
CA is working in close partnership with the Unified Compliance Framework (UCF) to provide customers with a harmonized set of controls within which all regulatory standards and best practices can be mapped. UCF is the first and largest independent initiative to map IT controls across international regulations, standards and best practices. Extensive research and editorial methodologies have contributed to UCF's success. The UCF's strategic approach to IT compliance reduces cost, limits liability, and leverages the value of compliance-related technologies and services across the enterprise. Currently, more than 400 individual international regulations, standards, and best practices have been mapped to the UCF, including Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, Visa CISP, Amex DSS, MasterCard EC Architecture Best Practices, Basel II, Gramm-Leach-Bliley, FERC, ISO 15489, and CobiT.
