Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC)
Security Governance
Security governance makes sure the right people make the right decisions — and that leadership can see how security is performing.
Overview
What is Security Governance?
Security governance defines the security organization, roles and responsibilities, committees and reporting lines, policy framework, risk appetite, metrics and board reporting — so cybersecurity is managed as part of the business.
