Following the launch of the COBIT 2019 framework last month, ISACA has published a Design Guide and an Implementation Guide to make the governance framework more practical, customizable and easier to use.
The new guides, available as free downloads for ISACA’s 135,000 members as well as for purchase by nonmembers, are:
The Implementation Guide is an update to the COBIT 5 Implementation Guide and incorporates the design factors. The Design Guide is a new offering that includes four steps to design a tailored governance system:
“Every organization has its own priorities, risk profile, regulatory landscape and culture—and as a result, every organization has very different needs for the system that governs its information and technology,” said Dirk Steuperaert, lead developer of COBIT 2019. “COBIT’s Design Guide helps organizations tailor their governance systems to get the most value out of their I&T, which, aside from its people, are the most important assets an organization has.”
The Design Guide also provides a companion toolkit to help enterprises tailor the information for their use, as well as examples of how three types of organizations—a manufacturing enterprise, a medium-sized innovative company and a high-profile government agency—might design their governance systems.
ISACA, the global association for information and technology (I&T) audit, risk, governance and security professionals, released its first update to the COBIT framework in nearly seven years last month. The new version, COBIT® 2019, provides comprehensive and practical guidance to help enterprises better govern and manage their information and technology. The COBIT framework is used by enterprises in all industries around the globe, and COBIT publications have been downloaded more than one million times.
The Design Guide and Implementation Guide join the two framework publications, available as free downloads to all:
COBIT 2019 training courses and certificate programs will be released in January and April 2019.
