COBIT5 Foundation

COBIT5 helps enterprises maximise the value of their information – the currency of the 21st century. Throughout its history, COBIT has been used by enterprises around the world to improve management of enterprise IT and governance.

COBIT5 provides globally accepted principles, practices, analytical tools and models designed to help business and IT leaders maximise trust in, and value from, their enterprise’s information and technology assets.
