CobiT – Control Objectives for Information and related Technology
CobiT (Control Objectives for Information and related Technology) is a best practice framework that lays out a set of generally accepted measures, indicators, and processes.
These assist managers, auditors, and IT users in maximising the benefits derived through the use of information technology and in developing appropriate IT governance and control within an organisation.
Following the Enron scandal and passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act many organisations are now using CobiT as a tool in their IT SOX compliance initiatives. Sarbanes-Oxley IT Compliance Using Open Source Tools, Second Edition is a toolkit for any organisation looking for a cost-effective means of achieving Sarbanes-Oxley IT compliance. This ground-breaking, fully integrated book and bootable “live” CD provide all the information and Open Source tools for organisations to use to achieve IT SOX compliance.
No formal certification against the COBIT framework for organisations or individuals is available.
Copies of the COBIT manual are available from the IT Governance online store for immediate purchase and dispatch.
