IT Governance - COBIT 5 version - S1E5 - Principle 3: Applying A Single Integrated Framework

COBIT 5 is a single and integrated framework because:
• It aligns with other latest relevant standards and frameworks, and thus allows the enterprise to use COBIT 5 as the overarching governance and management framework integrator.
• It is complete in enterprise coverage, providing a basis to integrate effectively other frameworks, standards and practices used. A single overarching framework serves as a consistent and integrated source of guidance in a nontechnical, technology-agnostic common language.
• It provides a simple architecture for structuring guidance materials and producing a consistent product set.
• It integrates all knowledge previously dispersed over different ISACA frameworks. ISACA has researched the key area of enterprise governance for many years and has developed frameworks such as COBIT, Val IT, Risk IT, BMIS, the publication Board Briefing on IT Governance, and ITAF to provide guidance and assistance to enterprises. COBIT 5 integrates all of this knowledge.


COBIT 5 Framework Integrator:




The COBIT 5 framework delivers to its stakeholders the most complete and up-to-date guidance on governance and management of enterprise IT by:
• Researching and using a set of sources that have driven the new content development, including:
Bringing together the existing ISACA guidance (COBIT 4.1, Val IT 2.0, Risk IT, BMIS) into this single framework
Complementing this content with areas needing further elaboration and updates
Aligning to other relevant standards and frameworks, such as ITIL, TOGAF and ISO standards.
• Defining a set of governance and management enablers, which provide a structure for all guidance materials
• Populating a COBIT 5 knowledge base that contains all guidance and content produced now and will provide a structure for additional future content
• Providing a sound and comprehensive reference base of good practices
