Foundational Controls: A Strategy Workshop to Focus ITIL Process and COBIT Control Efforts


Topic Summary

1.5 CPEs

This Luncheon Session will be a summary of the Morning Seminar along with discussion group activity.

Morning Seminar

IT management tends to focus on certain IT controls because they are documented in ITIL, COBIT or other frameworks. Why? These control practices are often inherited, continued by tradition or chosen by consensus — or even gut feeling. However, all controls are not created equal. The 80:20 Principle applies to IT controls. Recent research by the IT Process Institute found the existence of "foundational controls", a small percent of the universal IT controls deliver the majority of the value resulting in the highest positive impact on operations, security and audit measures.

In this workshop, Gene Kim will discuss the impact of this research, how the existence of foundational IT controls provides a way to focus and improve your organization's performance, and implications to your organization's audit plan. This session will include small group breakouts to assess the effectiveness of your organization's IT controls, based on a comparative analysis of the ITIL foundational controls. You will leave this workshop with a framework and concrete steps for moving down the path to IT excellence for IT management and auditors.
