What is COBIT? Who is its sponsor? What does it accomplish?
Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology (COBIT) is an IT governance framework and supporting toolset that allows managers to bridge the gap between control requirements, technical issues and business risks.
COBIT is sponsored by the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA). This group was formed in 1967 of individuals with similar auditing controls jobs. They wanted it to be more centralized so the formed the EDP Auditors Association. In 1976 the association formed an education foundation to undertake large-scale research efforts to expand the knowledge and value of the IT governance and control field.
COBIT now enables clear policy development and good practice for IT control throughout organizations. COBIT emphasizes regulatory compliance, helps organizations to increase the value attained from IT, enables alignment and simplifies implementation of the COBIT framework.
