What Is ITIL All About? • AligningIT services with business requirements • A set of best practices, not a methodology • Providing guidance, not a step-by-step, how-to manual; the implementation of ITIL processes will vary from organization to organization • Providing optimal service provision at a justifiable cost • A non-proprietary, vendor-neutral, technology-agnostic set of best practices.

COSO Components • Control Activities • Policies that ensure management directives are carried out • Approval and authorizations, verifications, evaluations, safeguarding assets security and segregation of duties • Monitoring • Assess control system performance over time • Ongoing and separate evaluations • Management and supervisory activities • Information and Communication • Relevant information identified, captured and communicated timely • Access to internal and externally generated information • Information flow allows for management action • Risk Assessment • Identify and analyze relevant risks to achieving the entity’s objectives • Control Environment • Sets “tone at the top” • Foundation for all other components of control • Integrity, ethical values, competence, authority, responsibility
Putting COSO, CobiT, and ITIL together • COSO defines the high level policies of a well governed IT organization • CobiT defines the control structures for evaluating the organization conforms to COSO policies. • ITIL defines the practices that will satisfy the CobiT controls.
