CYBERSECURITY FAQ
Cybersecurity governance is the oversight and strategic direction that ensures your organization manages security risks effectively. It includes policies, frameworks, processes, and accountability structures that guide how cybersecurity decisions are made and implemented.
Governance helps ensure that security efforts are aligned with business goals, resources are used effectively, risks are identified early, and compliance requirements are met. Without governance, security becomes reactive instead of proactive.
