Controls
Practical governance controls that support evidence and oversight
Control patterns
- Ownership controls: assign clear accountability for policies, reviews, and exceptions.
- Evidence controls: define what proof is required, when it is collected, and where it lives.
- Review controls: create recurring checkpoints for escalation, approval, and exception handling.
- Change controls: manage updates so governance does not drift over time.
What good looks like
Controls should be simple enough to use, measurable enough to audit, and stable enough to survive routine change.
