The COBIT Framework
COBIT is perhaps the most widely-used information technology control framework, since it spans the gamut of IT. COBIT describes IT processes and associated control objectives, management guidelines (activities, accountabilities, responsibilities and performance metrics), and maturity models.
Additionally, COBIT supports enterprise management in the development, implementation, and continuous improvement and monitoring of good IT-related practices.
COBIT can be extremely complex and difficult to address and implement. By its very nature, it is detailed and comprehensive, and requires a great deal of effort; however, InfoSight can help you address and implement the COBIT framework and achieve COBIT's high standards.
The COBIT framework consists of six components:
- Executive Summary
- Management Guidelines
- Control Objectives
- The COBIT Framework

- Implementation Toolset

What is
the COBIT Framework?
COBIT is the acronym for Control Objectives for Information and related Technology. The COBIT framework is a complete, internationally-accepted process for information technology (IT) management that supports business, IT executives and management in their definition and achievement of business and related IT goals by providing a comprehensive IT governance, management, control and assurance model. The COBIT framework was created by the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA), and the IT Governance Institute (ITGI) in 1996. The COBIT framework provides managers, auditors, and IT users with a set of generally accepted measures, indicators, processes and best practices to assist them in maximizing the benefits derived through the use of information technology and developing appropriate IT governance and control in a company. ISACA updates the COBIT framework about every 3 years.
