Owning a Control: Accountability, Delegation and Follow-Through
Controls fail when everyone thinks someone else owns them. Give every control one accountable owner, delegate the work, and follow it through to evidence.
Prepares you for: CGRC · ITIL 4 Foundation
What you'll be able to do
- Name one accountable owner per control and separate them from the people who do the work

A control ownership pack
What's in it. One accountable owner per control, named performers for each task, a status roll-up your leadership can read, and the escalation path when a task slips.
You build it lesson by lesson, using your own organization, and submit it for your certificate. It's yours to keep and adapt.
Who it's for
Control owners, GRC analysts and managers who are handed controls without being told what owning one means.
