Prepare recommendations for designated approvers
Report risks, decisions and open actions to leadership
Build the agreed foundation and hand off to your team or hire

For teams that want continuing governance support after handoff.

Scheduled governance review
Review changes to agreed rules and controls
Track open actions and emerging gaps
