What should organizations do to prepare for the implementation of the new version of COBIT in their organization?
Organizations should start by understanding why they should adopt the new version of COBIT. That is, what are the driving forces behind this change? They should also identify and analyze the gaps in their current IT governance framework to identify the specific areas that need improvement. For example, if they have not yet formalized IT roles or established an appropriate organizational structure, this is one area they can focus their efforts on.
They must also identify and assess their risk appetite. How much risk are they willing to take? They can then decide on a plan to achieve compliance with the new COBIT standard by using available resources such as consultants and sample frameworks from other organizations.
