Implementation of COBIT Partially and Possible Risks

Abstract

COBIT is one of the most adopted IT audit framework in the world. Some companies think to implement COBIT partially, not all process of CO-BIT. In this paper, we are going to give some tips to implement COBIT partially in an effective way.We also analyze the holistic approach of COBIT and show some examples about partially implementing which destroy the 'holistic approach'.Examples are given from COBIT's PO (Plan and Organise) domain and a combined working process (such as Incident management and change management). Our study will be a guide for sectors that are considering to partially address COBIT, such as the insurance industry.
