Mapping Governance to the COBIT, Risk IT and Val IT Frameworks
Developing a risk assessment based solely on COBIT would be sufficient if the
results were intended only to assist IT department governance decisions. However,
moving to a cloud environment may cause a paradigm shift in business processes,
