COBIT

COBIT, or Control Objectives for Information and related Technology, is a framework for information security created by ISACA, the Information Systems Audit and Control Association, and the ITGI (IT Governance Institute).

It comprises six elements: management guidelines, control objectives, COBIT framework, executive summary, audit guidelines and an implementation toolset. All are documented in separate volumes.

It is not a new publication, having emerged in the 1990s, but has more recently found favour due to external developments.
