IT governance today is not just about running processes—it’s about managing them in a demonstrable way.
By applying the five core principles of COBIT 5.0 in your organization, we ensure:
Value Delivery: IT investments are aligned with business objectives.
Holistic Approach: People, processes, technology, and information are managed as one.
Integrated Governance: All IT processes are embedded within corporate governance.
Balanced Needs: Risk, resources, and performance are aligned.
Sustainability & Compliance: Regulatory and supervisory requirements are consistently met.
COBIT Consulting strengthens organizations’ IT processes with governance, compliance, risk management, and audit-ready structures. Contact us to secure your organization with COBIT Consulting.
Field Realities: Challenges Organizations Face
- Uncertainty in Audits: Missing documentation creates major risks during BRSA, CMB, and MASAK audits.
- Accountability Gaps: Unclear ownership of processes leads to late detection of errors.
- Invisible Risks: Critical IT risks are not sufficiently monitored by top management.
- Lack of Standards: Cross-departmental inconsistencies and recurring audit findings.
- Awareness Gap: Employees lack sufficient knowledge of COBIT and IT governance.
COBIT Timeline
- 1996: COBIT was developed by ISACA to standardize IT audits for organizations.
- 2000s: Expanded beyond audits to include IT governance and control.
- 2012: COBIT 5.0 emphasized aligning IT with enterprise goals.
- Today: COBIT 2019, an evolved version of COBIT 5.0, provides a flexible, adaptive framework for digital transformation.
