The means by which an organization is directed and controlled. Governance determines who has authority and who is accountable. In IT, it includes the framework of decision rights and accountability to encourage desirable behavior in the use of IT.
Good governance aligns IT with business goals. Bad governance creates bureaucracy that stifles innovation ("Department of No").
We believe in Automated Governance. Why write a policy document that says "S3 buckets must be private" and hope people read it? Write a policy-as-code script that detects and remediates public buckets instantly. Governance should be a guardrail, not a gatekeeper.
