<![CDATA[IT Governance (ITG) ensures an organization's technological capabilities align with its business strategy. Although frameworks like COBIT 2019 offer structured guidelines, many assessment techniques rely on qualitative measures, which can compromise objectivity. This paper proposes a novel quantitative approach that integrates Factor Analysis (FA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to measure IT Governance maturity. By mapping each COBIT 2019 domain—EDM, APO, BAI, DSS, and MEA—onto a latent construct, organizations gain empirical insights into their governance status. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses validate these domains, while SEM reveals the magnitude and significance of each domain's impact on overall IT Governance maturity. A real-world example from a financial services company, "FinServEU," demonstrates how this framework can prioritize improvements, enhance regulatory compliance, and promote continuous monitoring. The results highlight that quantitative ITG modeling provides a reliable basis for informed decision-making and optimal resource allocation, bridging the gap between broad qualitative assessments and actionable strategies. This approach is crucial for the field of informatics and computer science, as it offers a robust, reproducible, and objective framework for evaluating a key aspect of digital transformation, ensuring that technological progress is guided by sound, data-driven principles.]]>
