COBIT®
COBIT® is a framework for the enterprise governance and management of information and technology (I&T) that supports enterprise goal achievement. COBIT help businesses develop, organize and implement strategies around information management and governance.
New concepts and terminology have been introduced in the COBIT Core Model, which includes 40 governance and management objectives for establishing a governance program. The performance management system now allows more flexibility when using maturity and capability measurements. Overall, the framework is designed to give businesses more flexibility when customizing an IT governance strategy.
Like other IT management frameworks, COBIT helps align business goals with IT goals by establishing links between the two and creating a process that can help bridge a gap between IT — or IT silos — and outside departments.
