Proposing a Method for Measuring the confidentiality of Enterprise Architecture Based On COBIT

As the enterprise is being matured and trying to develop IT governance, the recognition of technical and managerial dimensions of the enterprise as well as development and assessment of Enterprise Architecture (EA) plan is becoming one the important issues. Recently various papers focus on EA assessment, offering different methodologies. Since one of main goals of developing the EA plan is IT governance, the implementation of well-suited plans can be used as a powerful tool in IT management decisions. It implies that the EA assessment model according to this view is considerable. This model follows assessment process based on different information criteria that are effective in developing the good and qualified EA plan. In this research, we try to offer critical indicators for assessing the EA plan with concern to confidentiality as one of the information criteria from the perspective of IT governance. These indicators are based on one of the IT service management frameworks, named COBIT1. The result of this research is an assessment method, consisting of the critical confidentiality indicators, the method of indicator’s measurement and the layer of assessment for each indicator according to EA plan structure.
