Purpose: This research aims to measure the current condition level (capability level) of DISKOMINFO and then conduct a Gap analysis so that it can provide recommendations for improving IT governance related to IT risk management.Design/methodology/approach: The framework used is COBIT 2019, which will focus on 2 objectives: EDM03 (Evaluate, Direct, and Monitor) & APO12 (Align, Plan, and Organize). The data used in this study were obtained through interviews, observation, and distribution of questionnaires which had been mapped using the RACI Chart.Findings/result: The results of the assessment show that the capability level/capability level according to DISKOMINFO is level 2 for each objective. Recommendations focus on making documentation of risk management activities in the form of risk guidelines, risk acceptance, activities for risk management methods, as well as the application of risk management evaluation of IT which is used by DISKOMINFO on a regular basis.Originality/value/state of the art:From various types of risk management research with different frameworks, this research will use the COBIT 2019 performance standards to carry out information technology risk management.
