- No single owner for risk decisions
- Exceptions granted and never revisited
- Management reporting that never happens
What a ready organization looks like
- Defined accountability for security decisions
- A regular forum where risk is reviewed
- Exceptions tracked with expiry dates
- Reporting leaders can act on
