COBIT

ISACA framework for governance and management of enterprise information and technology.

Definition

COBIT 2019 defines 40 governance and management objectives across five domains: EDM (governance) and APO, BAI, DSS, MEA (management). It uses design factors and focus areas to tailor a governance system, and the goals cascade to link stakeholder needs to objectives. It measures process capability levels 0 to 5 based on CMMI.

Example

An enterprise uses COBIT 2019 design factors to prioritize APO12 Managed Risk and DSS05 Managed Security Services.

Exam tip

COBIT distinguishes governance (EDM) from management (APO, BAI, DSS, MEA).
