Control Objectives for Information and related Technology (COBIT)

 

COBIT facts:

COBIT 4.1 is an IT governance framework and supporting toolset that allows managers to bridge the gap between control requirements, technical issues and business risks

 

COBIT 4.1 has become the integrator for IT best practices and the umbrella framework for IT governance because it is harmonised with other standards and continuously kept up to date. The process structure of COBIT, in conjunction with its high-level, business-oriented approach, provides an end-to-end view of IT that aids organisations in getting the most value possible from their IT investments

 

COBIT 4.1 enables clear policy development and good practice for IT control throughout organisations

 

COBIT 4.1 is nowbecoming the adopted standard of preferance for organisations requiring tight controls of their IT environment, particularly those who work in highly regulated industries

 

This standard emphasises regulatory compliance, helps organisations to increase the value attained from IT, enables alignment and simplifies implementation of the COBIT 4.1 framework. When major activities are planned for IT governance initiatives, or when an overhaul of the enterprise control framework is anticipated, it is recommended to implement COBIT 4.1 which presents activities in a streamlined and practical manner so that continuous improvement in IT governance is easier than ever to achieve

 

The main benefits of implementing COBIT 4.1 are:

• Better alignment based upon a business focus

• An understandable view of IT for management

• Clear ownership and responsibilities

• General acceptability with third parties and regulators

• Shared understanding among all stakeholders based on a common language

• Fulfillment of the COSO requirements
