COBIT® 4.1

Description

COBIT^® 4.1 refines the material presented in COBIT^® 4.0 and includes guidance for boards of directors and all levels of management. It consists of four sections:

• The executive overview.
• The framework.
• The core content (IT process description, control objectives, management guidelines and maturity models).
• Appendices (mappings, cross-references and a glossary).

The core content is divided according to the 34 IT process. Each process is covered in four sections of approximately one page each, combining to give a complete picture of how to control, manage and measure the process. The four sections for each process are:

• The IT process description, which summarizes process goals, metrics and practices, and presents a mapping of the process to the process domains, information criteria and IT resources.
• The control objectives for the process.
• Management guidelines: the process inputs and outputs, a RACI (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted and/or Informed) chart, goals and metrics.
• The maturity model for the process.

A reference card is included that contains the main reference diagrams from the COBIT^® 4.1 publication, including the domain/process overview diagram; the process mapping tables; business goals/IT goals/IT processes tables; relationship among processes, goals and metrics; and the COBIT^® products schematic.

COBIT^® 4.1 does not invalidate work done with COBIT^® 4.0 or COBIT^® 3rd Edition, but provides the opportunity to build on that work and further improve IT governance and control arrangements, where appropriate.

Please note that COBIT^® 5 is now available.

This manual is also available as part of our CGEIT Passport, containing essential CEGIT study aids.
