What are the three lines of defense in IT risk governance?
Click to reveal answer
1st Line: Business operations (risk owners who accept and manage day-to-day risk) 2nd Line: Risk management and compliance functions (oversight, frameworks, policies) 3rd Line: Internal audit (independent assurance that the first two lines are effective) Each line has distinct accountability; overlapping roles between lines creates governance gaps.
