advice.
Purifi Consulting offers advisory services for clients to evaluate and understand policies and procedures to safeguard and advocate for their workplace and community.
Purifi pathogen and quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) professionals develop and implement strategies that can monitor and control the risks that impact the safety of our water, food, air, fomites (i.e. surfaces) and, in general, outdoor and indoor, environments.
COBIT Framework:
Purifi leverages control objectives for information and Related Technology (COBIT) in an information technology governance framework and it’s supporting risk assessment toolset that allows enterprises to bridge the gap between control requirements, technical issues and business risks.
COBIT enables clear policy developments and best practices for information and technology control throughout the enterprise.
COBIT emphasizes regulatory compliance, helps to increase the value attained from information and technology, enables alignment and simplifies implementation of the COBIT framework.
COBIT encourages all organizations to govern and mange information in the most holistic and integrated manner. The guiding principles are:
Meeting the needs of stakeholders.
Covering the whole enterprise from end to end.
Application of a single integrated framework.
Ensuring a holistic approach to business decision making.
Separating the movement from the management.
