Tier 2 deliverables
Tier 2: Governance design and controls workflow
Design the operating model: rules, workflows, ownership, and a cadence that can be evidenced—not just documented.
Outcomes
- - A governance operating model aligned to your stakeholders and risk posture
- - Clear ownership: who approves, who monitors, who escalates, who remediates
- - A workflow that reduces policy-to-practice drift and produces evidence routinely
Typical deliverables (illustrative)
Approved-tool pathway + intake workflow
How employees request tools, how review happens, and how allowlisting decisions are recorded and revalidated.
Control ownership and RACI
Who owns controls, who executes, who reviews, and how exceptions are handled and documented.
Governance cadence
Recurring review rhythm (e.g., monthly evidence cadence, quarterly governance review) with a measurable backlog.
Evidence-ready templates
Standard output formats that support internal governance packs and assurance-ready attachments.
