COBIT for IT Governance and IT Management
COBIT (Control Objectives for Information and Related Technologies) is a globally recognized framework for the governance and management of enterprise IT.

COBIT 5 Principles Model.
COBIT 5 and its successor, COBIT 2019, are built on five core principles:
- Meeting stakeholder needs
- Covering the enterprise end-to-end
- Applying a single integrated framework
- Enabling a holistic approach
- Separating governance from management
The COBIT 5 reference model defines 37 governance and management processes that offer clear guidance on roles, responsibilities, performance metrics, and maturity models. These processes enable organizations to design and implement control systems that are efficient, effective, and compliant with relevant regulations.
COBIT is valuable for aligning IT and business strategy, improving decision-making, and ensuring accountability. It supports risk management, resource optimization, and the delivery of consistent, high-quality information systems and services. Organizations across various industries utilize COBIT to enhance IT governance and achieve their digital transformation objectives.
