WHAT IS COBIT ISACA

What is COBIT?

COBIT stands for Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology. It is a framework 

created by the ISACA (Information Systems Audit and Control Association). It was designed to be a 

supportive tool for managers—and allows bridging the crucial gap between technical issues, 

business risks, and control requirements.

COBIT is a thoroughly recognized guideline that can be applied to any organization in any 

industry. Overall, COBIT ensures quality, control, and reliability of information systems in an 

organization, which is also the most important aspect of every modern business.

What is ISACA?

ISACA stands for Information Systems Audit and Control Association. It develops controls and 

guidance for information governance, security, control, and audit professionals.

This international association focuses on IT governance, providing benchmarks and governance 

tools for organizations that employ information systems. ISACA is behind the creation, 

sponsorship, and driving of the COBIT framework.

What is the History of COBIT?

Originally published in 1996, COBIT helped financial auditors better navigate their IT 

environment growth. 

ISACA released a more comprehensive version in 1998. It enveloped areas beyond audit controls. 

The third and fourth versions, released in the 2000s, added further management guidelines around 

cyber security.

The fifth COBIT version came in 2013 and brought along tools, objectives, and best practices 

universally applicable to all IT operations in enterprises. It expanded on the fourth version by 

incorporating related standards from the ISO (International Organization for Standardization), 

including ITIL (IT Infrastructure Library.

ISACA then updated COBIT 5 to COBIT 2019. It is the latest version. This COBIT version is more 

comprehensive, flexible, and suitable for all enterprises, irrespective of their immediate goals 

or size. COBIT 2019 includes six governing principles, unlike COBIT 5, which had five. Also, in 

this version, the number of processes supporting management objectives and governance has 

increased from 37 to 40.
