Overview
This objective focuses on establishing a clear link between organizational strategy, goals, and objectives, and how IT governance supports this alignment. It emphasizes the critical role of risk governance in ensuring IT decisions contribute to overall business success.
Core Concepts
- Governance evaluates stakeholder needs, sets direction, and monitors outcomes; management plans, builds, runs, and monitors activities to achieve that direction.
- Risk decisions should begin with the business objective, critical process, or value at stake—not with a preferred technology or control.
- IT-related risk is relevant when it can affect value delivery, strategic goals, legal obligations, customer trust, operational resilience, or financial performance.
Exam Tips
- In an ISACA-style question, identify the business objective and accountable decision maker before selecting a control.
- When two answers are technically valid, prefer the one that best aligns risk decisions with business objectives and governance.
