The recurring core
Virtual Technology Governance Office
A practical governance function for organisations that need board-level visibility over technology risk without building a full internal office.
The purpose
Keep the governance position current.
Technology risk cannot be governed through an annual report, scattered provider updates or informal conversations. The VTGO establishes an agreed cadence to identify what changed, test evidence, frame decisions, track action and revisit accepted risk.
It complements the CIO, IT team and specialist providers. Adnet operates the governance process; customer executives and boards retain their decisions, risk ownership and statutory duties.
