COBIT 5 Asessor Guide: Using COBIT 5

The COBIT^® 5 Assessor Guide: Using COBIT^® 5 provides you with:

• Details on how to undertake IT process capability assessments using the COBIT^® 5 Process Assessment Model (PAM).
• Definitions of the roles of responsibilities for performing process assessments.
• Information on how to scope a process assessment, and which IT processes should be assessed.
• Guidance to the type of evidence required during an assessment.
• Guidance on how to ascertain the capability level of an IT process.
• Details of how to prepare an assessment report and how the results of an assessment should be reported.
• A Tool Kit zip file containing an Assessment Scoping Tool Excel file and a Self-Assessment Templates Excel file for the 37 COBIT^® 5 processes.

A simpler and less formal approach to process assessments is detailed in COBIT^® Self-Assessment Guide: Using COBIT^® 5. This can be used by organisations to perform a less rigorous assessment of the current capabilities of their IT processes based on the COBIT^® 5 Process Assessment Model without the same level of evidentiary requirements.
