Episode 23 — Build issue remediation that closes governance gaps and prevents recurrence (Task 12)
This episode focuses on designing remediation so governance problems actually get resolved and stay resolved, rather than cycling through the same findings and exceptions every quarter. You’ll learn to treat remediation as a governance workflow: identify the root cause, assign an accountable owner, define corrective actions with measurable completion criteria, and verify that the fix changes behavior in production. We’ll cover how to prioritize remediation based on enterprise risk and business impact, and how to avoid cosmetic fixes like rewriting policies without changing decision checkpoints or accountability. Real-world scenarios include recurring access control exceptions, repeated architectural deviations, and persistent portfolio overruns that indicate governance is not enforcing constraints. You’ll also explore verification methods such as follow-up reviews, control testing, and monitoring metrics that confirm the fix is sustained. On the CGEIT exam, the strongest answers usually emphasize root cause, ownership, evidence, and prevention of recurrence rather than one-time patches.
