- Automated Scoring: Calculates current vs. target maturity scores automatically.
- Gap Analysis Dashboard: Visual heatmaps to instantly identify over-performed and under-performed processes.
- Actionable Outputs: Generates a prioritized roadmap for moving from current state to target state.
Why Use the 2021 Repack over a Generic Template?
- Refined Criteria: Incorporates clarifications from post-2019 feedback loops.

Why "Maturity" over "Capability"?
Before reviewing the tool, it is vital to distinguish between COBIT 2019’s two assessment approaches. While the official framework focuses on Capability Levels (0 to 5 based on process attributes), many enterprises still require a Maturity Assessment (an older, broader measure of "where we are culturally").
The 2021 Repack tools addressed this by aligning the legacy maturity scale (Non-existent to Optimized) with the updated 2019 design factors. Pre-Mapped Attributes: Aligns each process with the six
Step 1: Define the Scope and Participants
Inside the "Setup" tab of the repack, you must select your scoping factors:
- Enterprise Strategy: Growth, Cost, Innovation?
- Risk Profile: High, Medium, Low?
- Compliance Obligations: GDPR, SOX, PCI-DSS?
The tool uses these to weight certain processes. For a bank, APO04 (Managed Risk) and EDM03 (Managed Risk Governance) receive a multiplier of 1.5x in the final score.
1. The Scoring Matrix (EDM to MEA)
The tool usually maps the four domains:
- Evaluate, Direct, Monitor (EDM): Governance processes.
- Align, Plan, Organize (APO): Strategy & organization.
- Build, Acquire, Implement (BAI): Technical delivery.
- Deliver, Service, Support (DSS): Operations.
- Monitor, Evaluate, Assess (MEA): Performance.
Each row contains a scale from 0 (Non-existent) to 5 (Optimized) , with specific "2021 updated" work products listed for evidence.
How to Use the Tool
- Define Scope: Select the specific Governance and Management objectives relevant to your assessment scope.
- Input Evidence: For each process attribute, input the rating based on gathered evidence (interviews, documentation).
- Analyze Gaps: Review the automated output to see the distance between your "Current" state and your desired "Target" state.
- Plan Improvement: Use the gap analysis to inform your IT governance improvement plan.
1. The Dashboard Tab
This is your command center. After inputting data, this page automatically generates:
- Radar charts comparing current vs. target maturity across all 40 COBIT 2019 governance and management objectives.
- Heatmaps highlighting processes that are "over-matured" (wasting resources) or "under-matured" (high risk).
- Executive summary cards with an overall maturity score (1 to 5).
For Financial Services (SOX, Basel III)
- Action: Add extra columns to the "Process Attribute" tab for Control Failure Logging. Write a simple macro that subtracts 0.2 from the maturity score for each control failure reported in the last quarter.
- Result: Your maturity assessment becomes dynamic and real-time.
