Comparison between COBIT, ITIL and ISO 27001

COBIT


Cobit is stand for Control Objective over Information and Related Technology. Cobit issued by ISACA (Information System Control Standard) a non profit organization for IT Governance. The Cobit main function is to help the company, mapping their IT process to ISACA best practices standard. Cobit usually choosen by the company who performing information system audit, whether related to financial audit or general IT audit.

ITIL

ITIL stand for Information Technology Library. ITIL issued by OGC, is a set of framework for managing IT Service Level. Although ITIL is quite similar with COBIT in many ways, but the basic difference is Cobit set the standard by seeing the process based and risk, and in the other hand ITIL set the standard from basic IT service.

       ISO27001


       ISO27001 is much more different between COBIT and ITIL, because                ISO27001 is a security standard, so it has smaller but deeper domain compare to COBIT and ITIL.

   What should be implemented first?


    There's no exact answer about this question, but i think its really depend on your company and your requirement. Most of company start to implemented Cobit first because its cover general information system. And after that they usually choose between ITIL or ISO27001.


    What is the easiest standard?

       From the implementatation view, ITIL is the easiest standard to be implemented. Because, ITIL could be implemented partially and still not have impact(etki) on performance. Example, if IT departement lack of(eksiklik) budget and he could choose to implement IT Service Delivery layer only, and the next year he will try to implement IT Release Management or IT Problem Management.
