> **Subcategory of:** Policy (GV.PO)

## High-Level Description

**Function:** GOVERN (GV)
**Framework:** NIST Cybersecurity Framework v2.0

Policy for managing cybersecurity risks is reviewed, updated, communicated, and enforced to reflect changes in requirements, threats, technology, and organizational mission

## What to Check

- [ ] Verify GV.PO-02 GV.PO-02 outcome is achieved

Determine the organization's current and target CSF profile tier for GV.PO-02.

### Step 2: Assess Outcome Achievement

```
# Review organizational policies and procedures
# Check for evidence that GV.PO-02 outcome is met
# Interview stakeholders responsible for GOVERN
```

### Step 3: Map to Technical Controls

Identify which SP 800-53 controls implement this CSF outcome and verify their operating effectiveness.
