Episode 13 — Identify internal requirements that force governance decisions and control needs (Task 3)
This episode teaches you how to identify internal requirements that drive governance choices, such as enterprise policies, risk appetite statements, security standards, architectural principles, finance rules, and operational constraints. You’ll learn to treat internal requirements as decision inputs that define what must be true before an IT initiative can be approved, funded, or released, and how those requirements become testable governance criteria. We’ll walk through examples like internal data classification rules shaping cloud usage, internal sourcing policies shaping vendor selection, or internal resilience targets shaping service design and change management. You’ll also cover troubleshooting when internal requirements conflict, are outdated, or are selectively enforced, which often creates inconsistency and increased risk. On the CGEIT exam, strong answers typically prioritize clarifying requirements, aligning them to governance objectives, and embedding them into decision checkpoints so compliance is systematic.
