Assessing Corporate Cybersecurityintermediate
Arrange these steps in a sensible sequence for clarifying accountability after a governance gap is identified.
Answer
Identify the work and decisions that need an owner, Assign named roles and decision responsibilities, Communicate the roles and reporting route, Review whether assigned responsibilities are being carried out
Explanation
### Why this is right
The organization first needs to know which work or decisions have no clear owner. It can then assign roles, tell relevant people how responsibilities and reporting work, and review whether the arrangement is functioning.
### The order
1. **Identify the work and decisions that need an owner**: Clarify the gap before assigning responsibility.
2. **Assign named roles and decision responsibilities**: Give the work and decisions clear owners.
3. **Communicate the roles and reporting route**: Ensure relevant people know who acts and where concerns go.
4. **Review whether assigned responsibilities are being carried out**: Check accountability in practice.
### Terms
- **Decision responsibility**: Authority or duty to make or approve a particular decision.
### Remember
Define the gap, assign ownership, communicate it, then check that it works.
