COBIT 2019 APO01.09: APO01.09 Define and communicate policies and procedures

Procedures keep policies and the other parts of the control framework complied with and their performance measured; consequences are enforced when compliance fails or performance falls short; and trends and performance are tracked and fed into designing and improving the framework. A set of policies sets out what is expected of IT control in key areas such as security, quality, internal controls, privacy, how I&T assets are used, ethics and intellectual property rights. The policies are rolled out to, and enforced equally for, every relevant member of staff, so that they become part of how operations run. They are evaluated and updated at least once a year to reflect changes in the operating and business environment.

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 3 controls across 2 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

ISO 27001:2022 · 2 controls

  • 5.1 Policies for information security
  • 5.36 Compliance with policies, rules and standards for information security
  • P12 Principle 12: Deploys through policies and procedures

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
