What is COBIT®?
The Control Objectives for Information and related Technology (COBIT) is an internationally-recognized standard for the
control of IT processes. COBIT identifies what the objectives of IT processes should be, but not
how those objectives are met. It is a business orientated framework that
identifies high-level control objectives, grouped by domain. Each high-level control
objective is supported by a number of detailed control objectives. Each one of
the high-level control objectives references IT resources, and the quality, fiduciary and security requirements
for information.
