COBIT Management Domains

Four COBIT management domains: Align, Plan and Organize; Build, Acquire and Implement; Deliver, Service and Support; Monitor, Evaluate and Assess.

Definition

APO covers strategy, architecture, risk, security, and supplier management; BAI covers projects, requirements, change, and configuration; DSS covers operations, service requests, problems, continuity, and security services; MEA covers performance monitoring, internal control, compliance, and assurance. They follow the plan-build-run-monitor flow.

Example

APO13 Managed Security sits in APO, while DSS05 Managed Security Services sits in DSS.

Exam tip

Map domain prefixes to activity types: APO plan, BAI build, DSS run, MEA monitor.
