COBIT 2019 vs ISO 31000
What is the difference between COBIT 2019 and ISO 31000?
COBIT 2019 is a compliance framework applying in International, with 231 controls across 5 domains. ISO 31000 is a risk management framework applying in International, with 28 controls across 3 domains. They govern different subjects, so the overlap is limited to the governance requirements they share. The mapping below shows where that is.
