ISO 30414:2025 for IT Directors
What does ISO 30414:2025 require of a IT Director?
The ISO standard for human capital reporting and disclosure: a governance, strategy, risk and metrics disclosure format, eleven human capital areas and 69 metrics from workforce composition to skills, with required metrics for every organization and recommended ones by size and audience. Under ISO 30414:2025, which defines 105 controls, a IT Director's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
Which ISO 30414:2025 controls land on the IT Director
IT Directors translate compliance requirements into technical implementations. They manage infrastructure, oversee technology projects, ensure systems meet security standards, and bridge the gap between business requirements and technical delivery.
ISO 30414:2025 defines 105 controls across 16 domains that directly affect the IT Director role. Understanding which controls fall within your ownership, which are shared, and which are owned by other teams is the foundation of effective compliance management.
