COBIT is a framework for the governance and management of information and technology, aimed at the whole enterprise. Enterprise I&T means all the technology and information processing the enterprise puts in place to achieve its goals, regardless of where this happens in the enterprise. In other words, enterprise I&T is not limited to the IT department of an
organization but certainly includes it.
The COBIT 2019 is based on two sets of underlying principles: those that shape and design enterprise governance systems, and those that describe the core requirements of governance systems. The COBIT 2019 Foundation Certificate program covers eight key areas:
- Framework introduction
- Framework Principles
- Governance system and components
- Governance and management objectives
- Performance management,
- Designing a tailored governance system
- Business case and implementation.
