COBIT

Control Objectives for Information and related Technology (COBIT) is a framework for IT Governance, providing management tools such as metrics and maturity models for the control framework.

  COBIT Framework

Organizations must satisfy the quality, fiduciary and security requirements for their information, as they do for all assets including optimizing the use of available resources, including data, application systems, technology, facilities and people. To discharge these responsibilities, as well as to achieve their objectives, management must understand the status of their own IT systems and decide what security and control they should provide.

The COBIT framework helps to meet the multiple needs of management by bridging the gaps between business risks, control needs and technical issues. It provides good practices across a domain and process framework and presents activities in a manageable and logical structure.
