Monitoring, Assurance, and Continuous Improvement

The COBIT® 2019 for Cybersecurity & GRC training course begins with the central concepts of enterprise governance of information and technology, establishing the distinction between governance and management and introducing the COBIT framework, its principles and terminology. The agenda then develops the structure of a governance system through its components, governance and management objectives, goals cascade and performance management approach. It also addresses design factors and focus areas, showing how these elements support the creation of a governance system tailored to organisational circumstances.

The course subsequently applies this foundation to governance, risk, compliance and cybersecurity, covering the relationship between enterprise objectives, information and technology risks, security requirements and relevant governance practices. The agenda progresses through risk identification, assessment and response, alongside the management of cybersecurity within the wider governance system. It concludes with the COBIT implementation approach, including the implementation lifecycle, development of the business case, programme planning, organisational change considerations, performance monitoring and the continuing improvement of governance arrangements.
