About COBIT 2019 certification
ISACA developed COBIT, an IT governance and management framework. COBIT is not a prescriptive approach to IT Management. It provides a process for creating bespoke IT frameworks that optimize IT operations and prioritize strategic goals. These are based on a variety of Governance Objectives and Management Objectives that each company can focus on to suit its specific needs.
