CobiT is aimed at addressing business objectives. The Control Objectives make a clear and distinct link to business objectives in order to support significant use outside the audit community. Control Objectives are defined in a process-oriented manner following the principle of business re-engineering. At identified domains and processes, a high-level control objective is identified and rationale provided to document the link to the business objectives. In addition, considerations and guidelines are provided to define and implement the IT Control Objective.
The classification of domains where high-level control objectives apply (domains and processes), an indication of the business requirements for information in that domain, as well as the IT resources primarily impacted by the control objective, together form the CobiT Framework. The Framework is based on the research activities that have identified 34 high-level control objectives and 318 detailed control objectives. The Framework was exposed to the IT industry and the audit profession to allow an opportunity for review, challenge and comment. The insights gained have been appropriately incorporated.
