Governance provides the structure for aligning cloud security with business strategy. This episode explains how enterprise risk management (ERM) frameworks define risk appetite, set tolerance levels, and establish policies that guide cloud decisions. We examine how risk assessments inform governance structures and how policies translate high-level goals into enforceable rules.

The CCSP exam often tests governance through scenarios requiring candidates to identify whether risks are accepted, mitigated, transferred, or avoided. By mastering governance and risk, you’ll demonstrate your ability to embed cloud adoption into enterprise-wide strategy, ensuring alignment across legal, technical, and operational dimensions.
