Course Description | Syllabus | Course Schedule and Fees | Register Online

The CobiT® Framework starts from a simple and pragmatic premise: “In order to provide the information that the organization needs to achieve its objectives, IT resources need to be managed by a set of naturally grouped processes”.

In order to understand the risks and exploit the benefits of IT, successful enterprises must:

  • Align IT strategy with the overall organizational strategy
  • Integrate IT strategy and goals into the enterprise
  • Provide organizational structures that facilitate the implementation of strategy and goals
  • Create constructive relationships and effective communications between the enterprise and IT, and with external partners
  • Adopt and implement an IT control framework
  • Measure IT performance

Course Description
Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology (CobiT) is an IT Governance, control framework and maturity model. CobiT’s purpose is to align IT resources with an enterprise’s business objectives so services and information, when delivered, meet quality, fiduciary and security needs.

CobiT helps meet the multiple needs of management by bridging the gaps between business risks, control needs and technical issues. It provides good practices across a domain and process framework and presents activities in a manageable and logical structure.
