COBIT 5

​

Approach

​

COBIT 5 is a control framework that provides best practices, tools and guidance for the effective management and governance of enterprise IT.

​

COBIT 5 was published in early 2012, superseding COBIT 4.1.

 

It builds and expands on the guidance in COBIT 4.1 by integrating many frameworks and standards, including ISACA’s VAL IT and Risk IT, ITIL, and ISO standards including ISO 38500 and ISO 27001.

​

The COBIT 5 principles are:

​

1. Meeting Stakeholder Needs;

2. Covering the Enterprise End-to-End;

3. Applying a Single Integrated Framework;

4. Enabling a Holistic Approach;

5. Separating Governance from Management.
