Abstract

In the digital era, educational institutions face challenges in managing information technology (IT) controls and risks to maintain data security and ensure service quality. COBIT 2019 as an IT governance framework offers solutions to strengthen control and risk management in this sector. This study aims to analyze the impact of the implementation of COBIT 2019 on improving control and risk management at SMK Ibnu Khaldun Panambangan. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive approach with case studies. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and questionnaires, which were processed using descriptive statistical analysis and correlation tests to determine the relationship between the implementation of COBIT 2019 and control variables and risks. The results of the study showed a significant improvement in IT risk control and security, with a positive correlation value between the implementation of COBIT 2019 and the effectiveness of risk management. While challenges still exist in terms of standards compliance, strategies such as regular training and system monitoring have proven effective in optimizing the implementation of these frameworks. In conclusion, the implementation of COBIT 2019 contributed substantially to improving IT governance at SMK Ibnu Khaldun, with recommendations for increased compliance and stricter controls in the education sector.
