CobiT Quickstart

CobiT Quickstart is a baseline for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and other entities where IT is not mission-critical or essential for survival. It can also serve as a starting point for other enterprises in their move towards an appropriate level of control and governance of IT. For purposes of this publication, SMEs have not been defined according to any financial or staffing measurement. Instead, the strategic nature of IT to the business is evaluated, a self-assessment form has been developed and exceptions are reviewed. Enterprises whose strategic nature of IT is relatively low, falling within certain ranges on the self-assessment and who do not have any of the exceptions that might indicate a higher level of dependence on IT are considered SMEs. Those who operate with a small IT staff often do not have the resources to implement all of CobiT. This version of CobiT constitutes a subset of the entire CobiT volume. Only those control objectives considered most critical are included, so that implementation of CobiT's fundamental principles can take place easily and relatively quickly. CD-ROM included.
