IT Assurance

can be used to support a variety of assurance
activities, such as planning, scoping and
assessing risks and how an assurance review can
be performed for each of the 34 COBIT processes.
Assurance steps and advice are provided for:
- Generic controls that apply to all processes
(identified by PC.n in COBIT)
- Specific process controls (identified by
domain identification and process number, e.g.,
PO6.3, AI4.1)
- Application controls (identified by AC.n in
COBIT to:
- Test the control design of the control
objective
- Test the outcome of the control objective
(operational effectiveness)
- Document control weaknesses and their impact.
The assurance guide is intended for assurance
professionals who require guidance in providing
reliable assurance on internal controls, process
improvement, financial support audit, etc. In
addition, the assurance guide can be used by IT
professionals who may be asked for their
opinions and recommendations regarding proposed
improvements.

Once we implemented IT Toolkit, all of that changed. Now we have an IT final plan that looks professional, is well organized and makes it easy for everyone to find the information that they need.
The responses from clients has been very positive as well. Even the ones who have the information don't have it as wellorganized as we do and they really appreciate having everything together. Most importantly, we are becoming more efficient and that leads to greater IT Manager!
The toolkits provides a framework for a best practice implementation - where if your best practice changes or refines, your entire documentation environment follows.
The IT Toolkit brings order to the chaos of managing and delivering on documentation for our clients. It has let me reduce the burden on my engineers managing documentation and allowed them to focus back on the client. It's a game changer .
I have been searching for a good tool that will help avoid duplicate entries for documentation purposes. The IT Toolkit did just that and more. All of our engineers absolutely love this tool. We eliminated 2 tools and replaced them with the IT Toolkit which is much more effective and faster.
The step-by-step IT Toolkit is easy to use and there is zero ramp up time - you can read this clearly laid out ebook and implement right away. I appreciate that you make the process easier on my clients and still give them 100% control.
The IT Toolkit gives me a broader understanding of the use and efficency of IT management. It presents a friendly, easy way to do something I've known would be good for me.
The toolkit is helping organize my thoughts and training methods with our IT Inside crew already.
