Governance Workflows and Decision-Making
In this lesson, we map the governance workflow from proposal to remediation. A formal process governs how training interventions, policy updates, and incident responses are proposed, reviewed, approved, and tracked through completion. The workflow integrates with incident governance, policy management, and risk controls.
Practices include standardized documentation, change management, and transparency with stakeholders. A DACI or RACI model clarifies ownership, accountability, and consult/approve steps. Regular audits verify adherence and the ability to close gaps promptly.
- Proposal intake and scoping
