Leveraging COBIT 4.0 as IT Governance Framework

Abstract

For each of the 34 processes the COBIT framework defines control objectives, management guidelines, and a maturity model. Within the COBIT 4.0 publication each process is typically described over four pages: two pages detailing the (high-level and detailed) control objectives, one page describing the management guidelines and one page for the maturity model. The following sections will further explore these different COBIT components.
