CONTROL OWNERSHIP

Create a culture of responsible control ownership

Put ownership at the center of your security measurement, by understanding who’s responsible for every device, application, account. The lot.

Challenge

Who owns x? Who is responsible for y? Who needs to fix z?  

As organizations decentralize IT, the growing number of devices, applications, and accounts under different people’s control grows rapidly. Keeping track of everything becomes a challenge, especially when security isn’t their top priority. Corners get cut. Incomplete inventories mean the security team often lack visibility into asset ownership, with no single source of truth to clarify who is responsible for what.

This lack of visibility weakens the influence of security leaders, disrupts the daily operations of security and IT teams, and makes it harder for control owners to take accountability for security.

The bottom has a middle-aged man with glasses and smiling looking up. The left has a man looking down with glasses looking confused. The group can't work out how to work together and are surrounded by missing assets and question marks.

Solution

Build partnerships with accountable control owners

Panaseer creates relationships between devices, people, accounts and apps, even when data is incomplete to start with. This comprehensive view gives control owners clear oversight of how their actions impact the organization's security posture. They can easily compare performance across business services, divisions, and regions and more. With self-service access to objective measurements against risk thresholds set by the business, regulations, and best practice frameworks, these owners can take full responsibility and accountability for cybersecurity.

With access to a single source of truth and personalized views for each user, security, IT, and business teams can now work together to manage cyber risk and reduce control failures.

Benefits

Ownership

Shapes in pink, green, blue and yellow, build up to support a person icon, with the foundation block as the panaseer mini logo.

Role-based, self-service gives everyone instant access to a centralized record of controls coverage, effectiveness and performance. Control owners can rapidly identify the highest priority risks, before setting remediation targets and tracking the impact they’re having on the organization’s security posture.

Influence

A shared view of trusted data becomes the foundation for clear communication between controls assurance and control owners. By adding verified business context to every asset, Panaseer simplifies discussions with both the business and control owners about controls performance.

Business relevance

Two people icons in blue are linked together with a line and red exclamation warning icon in the middle.

By linking every asset to business attributes like services, divisions and regions, Panaseer provides scoring and heatmap breakdowns that show how well each area is performing over time. This enables security and assurance teams to tell clearer stories about cyber risk management, all within the context of the business and its priorities.
