Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT (CGEIT) — Question 262

When defining an enterprise governance framework, the PRIMARY determination of the degree to which the framework is principle-based or policy-based is:

Answer options

• A. enterprise architecture framework.
• B. organizational decision-making style.
• C. IT process maturity.
• D. organizational structure.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because the organizational structure dictates how decisions are made and how policies are enforced, which affects whether the framework relies more on principles or policies. The other options, while relevant to governance, do not primarily determine the framework's basis.
