This paper is the result of a joint study initiated by the UK government's Office of Government Commerce and the IT Governance Institute in response to the growing significance of best practices to the IT industry and the need for senior business and IT managers to better understand the value of IT best practices and how to implement them. COBIT can be used at the highest level of IT governance, providing an overall control framework based on an IT process model that is intended by ITGI to generically suit every organisation. Specific practices and standards, such as ITIL and ISO 17799, cover specific areas and can be mapped to the COBIT framework, thus providing a hierarchy of guidance materials.
