Control Process Model
Business and Technology Goals Alignment
IT Governance is the responsibility of Executive Leadership and the Board of Directors, and consists of organizational structures and processes that ensure that the enterprise IT sustains and extends the approved business strategies and objectives.
Control Objectives for Information and Related Technologies (COBIT) 5 is a good-practice framework maintained by the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA). It defines a set of generic processes and respective sets of controls for the management and performance evaluation of enterprise IT functions.
The framework defines IT activities in a generic process model within four domains: Plan and Organize, Acquire and Implement, Deliver and Support, and Monitor and Evaluate. The domains map to IT traditional responsibility areas of plan, build, run and monitor.
COBIT incorporates an operational model and a common language for all parts of the business involved in IT, as one of the important initial steps towards good governance, and provides a framework for measuring and monitoring IT performance.
