Abstract

COBIT is a collection of good practices and processes for IT governance. It provides the effective measures, indicators and activities for enterprise. COBIT has also been applied to the other governance, e. g., software process, security governance, IT service management. However, since COBIT is too general-purpose, it requires deep expert knowledge for the implementation of each application. Although the guideline of security management is also published, its contents are abstract. Therefore, we examined the contents of COBIT and defined a framework which specializes in security engineering from the guideline. This paper presents the framework and its application to information systems development. The framework effectively utilizes the COBIT-based security management and solves various subjects of security in the development.
