Effective information technology (IT) governance is essential for the University of Riau (UNRI) Library to achieve its research and educational objectives. This paper presents a qualitative pilot study investigating the library’s current IT governance processes, focusing on two COBIT 5 processes—DSS01 (Manage Operations) and DSS05 (Manage Security Services). These processes were selected in consultation with library and IT leadership due to their direct relevance to ensuring operational reliability and safeguarding the library’s information assets. COBIT 5 principles and capability models guide the assessment, emphasizing regulatory compliance, performance monitoring, and stakeholder collaboration. Using a detailed questionnaire and capability model, the study evaluates base practices and work products for DSS01 and DSS05. Results indicate varying proficiency levels, with DSS01 at level 0 and DSS05 at level 1, highlighting significant gaps between current and desired capability levels. Recommendations include implementing standard operating procedures, enhancing security measures, and optimizing resource management. In conclusion, the findings underscore the need for standardized processes, continuous monitoring, and alignment with established frameworks like COBIT 5. By addressing identified gaps and implementing recommended improvements, the UNRI Library can strengthen its IT governance, enhance operational efficiency, and better support its academic mission.
