GV.RR-02 focuses on defining and disseminating clear roles, responsibilities, and authorities for cybersecurity risk management across the organization. This clarity ensures that individuals and teams know their specific duties—whether strategic, operational, or auditing—and have the authority to act. Enforcement mechanisms ensure accountability and adherence to these roles.

By documenting and communicating these expectations, often through policies or job descriptions, organizations reduce confusion and overlap in risk management efforts. This subcategory promotes a structured, transparent approach where responsibilities are understood and upheld at all levels. GV.RR-02 strengthens the operational framework for managing cybersecurity risks effectively.
