Most enterprises score lower than they expect.
This assessment measures the structural connectivity of your governance architecture - how well risk signals travel across domains, how clearly ownership is defined at the intersections, and how visible enterprise risk actually is to the people who need to act on it.
The assessment has two parts. The first is designed for the executive completing it. The second is designed for a governance team to complete together - a working session that typically takes 45 to 60 minutes.
There are no right answers. The goal is an accurate picture of where your architecture stands today, not a score to optimize.
Part 1 - Executive section: Complete this on your own. 12 questions. Approximately 10 minutes.
Part 2 - Team section: Complete this in a working session with your governance leads across data, security, risk, compliance, and operations. 12 questions. Approximately 45–60 minutes.
Your results are generated automatically at the end. They include your connectivity maturity score across four dimensions, a written diagnosis of where your architecture has gaps, a prioritized list of architectural moves, and a board-ready summary you can use internally.
What We Typically Find
In a healthcare system with mature domain programs, signals from three separate governance functions had been pointing to the same vendor risk for months - none connected until an incident surfaced. A governance architecture gap, not a program failure.
In a national retail organization, a new regulatory requirement sat unowned for three months while two mature programs debated which domain it belonged to. A governance architecture gap, not a resource failure.
In a healthcare network, an AI system passed four separate governance reviews and still produced a compliance finding weeks after deployment - because no structure existed to govern the intersection between its data lineage and its access control framework. A governance architecture gap, not a model risk failure.
Each article examines a different structural dimension of governance architecture. New analysis published every three to four weeks.
