COBIT(r) 5 for Information Security (2013)

Information is a key resource for all enterprises and, from the time information is created to the moment it is destroyed, technology plays a significant role. Technology is increasingly advanced and has become pervasive in enterprises and the social, public and business environments.

COBIT 5 provides a comprehensive framework that assists enterprises in achieving their objectives for the governance and management of enterprise IT. Simply stated, it helps enterprises create optimal value from information technology (IT) by maintaining a balance between realising benefits and optimising risk levels and resource use. COBIT 5 enables IT to be governed and managed in a holistic manner for the entire enterprise, taking into account the full end-to-end business and IT functional areas of responsibility, considering the IT-related interests of internal and external stakeholders.
