Abstract: IT governance mechanisms approach to facilitate associated decision process in large organisation, but IT governance structures in small and medium enterprises (SMEs), is quite limited. SMEs tend to have an idiographic profile with characteristics that differs strongly from large business. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is assessing whether IT governance is applicable to SMEs. We needed a framework of IT governance in SMEs. Under the objectives, we studied literatures about IT governance and standards, SMEs and corporate governance. With the results we created the framework of IT governance in SMEs and in implementing this framework. A case study of traditional industry is shown in the implementation of IT governance. Case X-Company has some pros and cons in the implementation of IT governance.
