Episode 14 — Identify external requirements that reshape governance priorities and obligations (Task 3)
This episode explains how external requirements—laws, regulations, contractual commitments, industry standards, and customer expectations—should shape governance priorities and the evidence an enterprise must produce. You’ll learn how to translate an external obligation into governance actions, such as policy updates, control requirements, oversight reporting, vendor clauses, and exception handling rules, so compliance becomes part of the governance system. We’ll discuss realistic scenarios like new privacy obligations changing data handling decisions, regulatory reporting timelines forcing changes to monitoring and escalation, or customer contracts requiring stricter assurance for third parties. You’ll also cover common governance failures, including treating external requirements as one-time projects, relying on informal interpretations, or allowing business units to self-exempt without traceable risk acceptance. For the exam, you’ll practice choosing governance responses that create clarity, traceability, and repeatability rather than temporary fixes that only address the latest issue.
