Simply stated, it helps organizations create optimal value from IT by maintaining a balance between realizing benefits and optimizing risk levels and resource use. It builds on more than 15 years of practical usage and application of COBIT by many enterprises and users from business, IT, risk, security and assurance communities. COBIT 5 enables IT to be governed and managed in a holistic manner for the entire organization taking in the full end-to-end business and IT functional areas of responsibility, considering the IT-related interests of internal and external stakeholders. COBIT 5 is generic and useful for organizations of all sizes, whether commercial, not-for-profit or in the public sector. COBIT 5 is based on five key principles:

Principle 1: Meeting Stakeholder Needs — COBIT 5 provides all of the required processes and other enablers to support business value creation through the use of IT.

• Principle 2: Covering the Enterprise End-to-End — COBIT 5 integrates governance of enterprise IT into enterprise governance.
