COBIT is an IT governance and management framework organizations can use to implement, monitor, and enhance their business processes. ISACA<\/a> initially published COBIT specifications in 1996 as a tool for guiding financial auditors to navigate IT environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n ISACA is a global body of professionals that sets and develops IT governance, security, and audit controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 1998, ISACA launched a more comprehensive iteration of the framework whose scope extended beyond audit controls. In the 2000s, the professional body released COBIT 3 and COBIT 4 versions, which provided the best management guidelines for cybersecurity. COBIT 5 was released in 2013 to provide a better framework for integrating with other International Organization for Standardization (ISO)-based standards, such as ISO 20000 and IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL).<\/p>\n\n\n\n COBIT 19, the latest iteration of the framework, was launched in 2018. This version is a more generic and comprehensive framework that any organization \u2014 regardless of size or immediate goals \u2014 can use to address governance issues in a fast-paced IT environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The COBIT framework has evolved to provide extra features and services when it comes to IT governance system principles. These principles allow organizations to set goals based on priorities and decision-making structures while monitoring performance and compliance against the set objectives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s examine the differences between COBIT 5 and COBIT 19<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are five basic governance system principles that COBIT 5 defines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Organizations exist to generate value for their stakeholders. Whenever making decisions for your organization, for example, you need to consider which stakeholders stand to benefit from such decisions and which ones take the majority of risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n COBIT\u2019s benefits aren\u2019t confined to IT; you can apply the COBIT 5 framework to the entire enterprise to maximize its value to the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n COBIT 5 is an integrated framework that covers all IT governance and management aspects affecting an entire organization\u2019s teams, employees, and departments. You can leverage this integrated approach to identify potential risks and threats to the company and design processes that operate more efficiently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n COBIT 5 takes a holistic approach to the management and governance of IT, allowing organizations to achieve their goals through greater collaboration. The intention is to achieve higher productivity and generate more customer value. <\/p>\n\n\n\n COBIT 5 differentiates IT governance from management, as these two elements encompass different activities. This distinction aligns the framework with other predefined guidelines, such as ISO 27000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n COBIT 19 extends the framework with a total of six governance system principles, as outlined below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like \u201cmeeting stakeholder needs\u201d in COBIT 5, this governance system principle allows the framework to create value for stakeholders when implemented. You can leverage this principle to meet the conflicting requirements of different stakeholders by considering the benefits and risks associated with making decisions regarding IT governance and management. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This principle recognizes that an enterprise governance system is built from many components. A successful enterprise governance system requires these components to work together seamlessly in a holistic manner to achieve the business\u2019s intended goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The COBIT 19 framework recognizes the need for an enterprise governance system to be dynamic and respond to unexpected challenges. For example, each time you change one or more design factors, such as a change in technology or strategy, you should also consider the impact of these changes on the Enterprise Governance of Information and Technology (EGIT). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Like COBIT 5, the COBIT 19 framework isolates IT governance from management because they have various roles, responsibilities, and activities. For example, IT governance evaluates the stakeholder requirements and prioritizes them based on the organization\u2019s objectives. IT management monitors organization activities to ensure that they align with IT governance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n COBIT 19 requires organizations to tailor their governance systems based on their needs and characteristics. You can use a set of design factors to customize and prioritize various governance system components to adapt to different organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The COBIT 19 framework recognizes the need for an end-to-end enterprise governance system comprising all organization functions, with a strong focus on IT functions. The framework can help achieve consistency and coverage when it comes to managing and governing IT operations within the organization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The COBIT framework can help organizations of all sizes to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The COBIT framework aligns well with other frameworks and standards, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n The IT Manager\u2019s Guide to Data Compliance Hygiene <\/p>\n \n How to ace your audit <\/p>\n <\/div>\n As organizations shift to remote and hybrid working environments for their employees, it can be challenging to manage IT security, risks, and governance. COBIT is an excellent framework for ensuring good governance over critical IT resources. However, you still need an effective IT-compliant solution, such as Jumpcloud Directory\u00ae<\/sup> Platform,<\/a> to help you navigate compliance challenges<\/a> in both on-prem and cloud-based environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n JumpCloud\u2019s open directory platform serves as a cloud-compliance solution<\/a> to help you secure access to critical resources from heterogeneous endpoints \u2014 whether such resources are hosted on-prem or in cloud-based setups. This specifically helps to achieve optimized results on COBIT\u2019s identity and lifecycle management maturity model. JumpCloud also includes built-in reporting tools<\/a> and reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The open directory unifies identity, access, and device management capabilities, regardless of the underlying authentication method or device ecosystem. JumpCloud authenticates users whether they use biometrics, digital certificates, passwords, or SSH keys. It treats identities as the new perimeter, delivering secure, frictionless access and ensuring that every resource has a best way to connect to it. Here are some examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n COBIT also governs the addition and modification of user identifiers, user credentials, or other authenticators. JumpCloud is able to provision users from HR systems and delivers mature entitlements management through attribute-based access control<\/a> (ABAC). Membership or entitlement changes are either suggested and can be automated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ready to start getting compliant?
