Governance

Security governance is the framework of policies, roles, responsibilities, and oversight that ensures your cybersecurity program aligns with your business objectives and regulatory requirements. It's the management layer that directs and controls your security program — setting strategy, allocating resources, defining accountability, and ensuring compliance.

Good governance means leadership is engaged in cybersecurity decisions, policies are documented and enforced, roles and responsibilities are clearly defined, and the security program is regularly reviewed and improved. Without governance, even well-funded security programs lack direction and accountability.
