Description: Governance metrics are essential tools that allow for the evaluation of governance effectiveness in various organizations, especially in cloud environments with evolving security paradigms. These metrics focus on measuring an organization’s ability to manage its resources, risks, and regulatory compliance efficiently and transparently. In a zero-trust context, where it is assumed that no entity, whether internal or external, is completely trustworthy, these metrics become even more critical. They are used to establish a framework that helps organizations identify vulnerabilities, assess the security of their data, and ensure that established policies and procedures are followed. Governance metrics encompass aspects such as identity and access management, data protection, auditing, and compliance, and are fundamental for informed decision-making. By providing a clear view of the state of governance, these metrics enable organizations to quickly adapt to changes in the technological and regulatory environment, thus ensuring proactive and effective management of their digital assets.
