Abstract
Audit of alignment of governance and information technology is carried out to assess the level of readiness and condition of the organization in managing information technology governance. One of the agencies that require the implementation of IT governance is the XYZ Disaster Management Operations Control Unit which has a function as the organizer of information systems, disaster data and information centers, namely recipients, processors, and information contributors as well as the center for implementing disaster services. This audit was conducted to determine the level of IT process capability based on COBIT 5 standards and determine the level of inequality owned by the XYZ Disaster Management Operations Control Unit. The IT process used is based on the mapping results of the identified business objectives, information technology objectives and information technology processes based on COBIT 5. Then for the questionnaire dissemination to select the IT process based on interest level questionnaire, the capability level questionnaire is disseminated to determine the value of current capability. Data processing from the capability level questionnaire uses the Guttman method, where this method is used to convert answers from respondents with a value of 0 (no answer) and 1 (yes answer) based on level. Data interpretation is done to determine the value of current capability and GAP value. The results of the capability level of the IT process are EDM01, EDM02 and APO09 processes which are at level 3 (Established). The gap found needs to be given an improvement strategy to achieve expected capability, namely, agency 4 (predictable process) by providing recommendations related to steps to achieve the expected capability value. Recommendations and improvements provided using ISO / IEC 15504: 2 2003 and ISO27002 standards obtained by mapping IT processes in COBIT 5.

1. Introduction
A very fast development of information technology demanding an organization / agency / company to be faster and better in carrying out operations and data processing related to the evaluation of information technology governance. The stages of conducting an audit require a standard that can help to become a valid and realable measurement, so that one of the standards is COBIT 5. The COBIT 5 standard (Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology) is chosen because the COBIT framework is considered to provide the most detailed description of manage and control the regulation of information technology processes that support governance and information technology objectives. COBIT 5 standard also contains data processing by calculating capability level values that represent the level of alignment of information technology objectives and organizational business objectives [1]. COBIT 5 is a development of COBIT 4 where COBIT 5 has adopted ISO / IEC 38500 and ISO / IEC 31000 series on areas of governance, ITIL V3 2011, ISO / IEC 20000, ISO / IEC 27000 series and TOGAF regarding management areas and PRINCE2® which discuss the area of portfolio management and project management [1]. COBIT 5 is not just about the IT process but has included IT governance and project portfolio management for organizations. The process used as a guideline in this study uses COBIT 5 standard, and for data processing performed using the Guttman scale method.
2. Methodology
This sub-chapter describes the stages of research conducted and the methodology of research data processing.
A. Research Stages
The stages carried out in this research are in Figure 1.
Fig.1 Audit Process
The steps taken include the selection of IT processes in COBIT 5, as well as data collection consisting of interviews, observation and questionnaires, questionnaires processing, data analysis including the value of current capabilities and the expected level of capability, improvement of strategies based on COBIT 5 and framework best practices of ISO27002 and ISO / IEC 15504: 2 2003 with COBIT mapping and final conclusions.
B. Guttman Method
The Guttman Scale was developed by Louis Guttman (1944, 1950) and was first used as part of a classic work of the Americans soldiers. The Guttman scale is applied to a set of binary questions (0 and 1). The purpose of this analysis is to get one firm answer like "Yes" and "No", "True" and "False" etc. [2]. The initial stages of data processing can be done by converting answers to each respondent where the answer "no" is converted to a value of 0 and the answer "yes" to a value of 1. The conversion results are formulated by looking for the average conversion value from the binary value which is obtained, divided with the number of questions for respondents (the number of questions in question is the number of questions from level 0-5) (1) [3]. Then the normalization process is carried out where the value obtained from the average number of conversions per level (level 0 - level 5) is divided by the total number of overall conversions (2). Afterward, normalization process is conducted where value obtained from the results of the previous normalization multiplied by the level in each domain process consisting of levels 0-5 (3). Calculating capability level domain data is obtained from the results of the level normalization process which is summed to get the result value from the capability level based on the id process (4). The value of the IT process id is obtained from the number of capability level values in each respondent in each domain process divided by the number of respondents in each domain process (5). The value of the current capability (current condition) is obtained from the total number of capability values in each IT process id divided by the number of IT processes contained in each IT process (6) [4].

3. Results and Discussion
This section discusses the results of mapping using the COBIT 5 framework and the results of data processing using the Guttman scale method.
A. Data Processing Results of Interest Level
From the results of interest data processing, it can be seen that there are five IT processes having the highest value. The five processes are at the same level, which is very important based on the results of questionnaires with top level respondents and with the authorities responsible for IT in the organization. Of the five IT processes, only three were implemented, namely EDM01, EDM02 and APO09 according to the agreement with the agency. The diagram of the results of the interest level data is shown in Figure 2.
