COBIT 2019 — IT and Cybersecurity Governance
COBIT 2019 is ISACA’s framework for governing and managing enterprise information and technology. It links board objectives to IT and security processes and is widely used by banks, internal auditors and regulators.
Mutex Systems uses COBIT to structure IT and security governance — especially where regulators such as the State Bank of Pakistan expect a formal technology governance framework.

Is COBIT a cybersecurity framework?
COBIT covers governance of all enterprise IT, with specific objectives for managed security (APO13) and security services (DSS05). It is usually combined with ISO 27001 or NIST CSF for detailed security controls.
Can you certify against COBIT?
Organisations are not certified against COBIT; they are assessed for capability. Individuals can hold COBIT certifications from ISACA.
