Which governance structure in information security is characterized by decision-making authority being concentrated at higher organizational levels rather than distributed among individual departments or teams?
A centralized governance structure concentrates security-related decisions in a single authority-often executive management or a dedicated security office-ensuring uniform policy enforcement across the enterprise. In contrast, decentralized, federated, or matrix approaches delegate significant authority to separate business units or project teams.
