Zero Trust Governance encompasses the policies, roles, standards, and metrics through which an organisation manages its Zero Trust programme — from board-level risk appetite statements and CISO accountability frameworks to technical policies governing device trust levels, access certification cycles, and exception management. Governance is the enabling layer that transforms Zero Trust from a technology deployment into a sustainable enterprise security programme, and is explicitly required by frameworks including ISO 27001, NIST CSF 2.0's new Govern function, and DORA's ICT risk management mandates.
