Has your organisation implemented the COBIT best practice framework? Do you need to understand how you can benefit from and migrate to COBIT 5?

ISACA has confirmed that the long awaited COBIT 5 Framework will be published in the next few months. COBIT 4. 1 was released in 2007 and has become one of the internationally accepted best practice frameworks for IT management and control in successful organisations. While providing a useful guide for the management of operational IT practices, it has long been criticised for not providing the basis for true IT governance.

COBIT 5 has adopted the Evaluate, Direct and Monitor model of the ISO 38500 IT Governance standard and clearly differentiates between governance processes and management processes.

As a leading IT governance consultancy, we are pleased to offer you the unique opportunity to attend our COBIT 5 Update Day seminar to be held in London on the 23rd February 2012. This is first COBIT 5 review event to be held in the UK and is presented by Geoff Harmer who is a licensed trainer for COBIT with ISACA, and is also an accredited lecturer for ITIL with the Information Systems Examination Board (ISEB).

By attending the COBIT 5 Update Day you will learn about:

• The key concepts and benefits of COBIT 5
• The differences between COBIT 4.1 and COBIT 5
• How to plan the migration from COBIT 4.1 to 5
• The resources required for implementation

Find out how COBIT 5 can help your organisation ensure that IT really delivers on its strategic objectives.t

Is your organisation implementing the COBIT IT governance framework?

Closely aligned with ISO27001, the ISO/IEC 27002:2005 standard serves as a practical guideline for all members of staff as they initiate, implement and maintain information security. An understanding of the best practice guidance as outlined in ISO27002 is essential to achieving the goals of COBIT.

COBIT is an IT governance control framework that helps organisations meet today’s business challenges in the areas of regulatory compliance, risk management and aligning IT strategy with organisational goals. Although information security is one of these goals, COBIT does not supply any guidance to how to achieve this objective. This is provided by the ISO27002 Standard which draws on the experience of practitioners in over 40 countries to set out best practice for the delivery of an effective information security programme.
