Governance framework development
A structured approach to building policies, processes, and controls that define how your organization manages cybersecurity and compliance.
What is governance framework development?
This service helps organizations design and implement a governance structure that ensures security, compliance, and accountability. Unlike ad-hoc security measures, a governance framework provides a consistent set of policies, roles, and responsibilities aligned with standards like ISO 27001, NIST CSF, or COBIT. It enables your business to manage risks effectively and demonstrate compliance to regulators and partners.
