COBIT

Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology (COBIT) is an IT governance control framework and supporting toolset that allows businesses to bridge the gap between control requirements, technical issues and business risks. COBIT emphasizes regulatory compliance, helps organizations to increase the value attained from IT, and enables the aligning of IT strategy with organizational goals.
