# GOVERN

Set direction, accountability and ownership, risk appetite, and assurance so all clusters are managed consistently. Cross-cutting — does not counter a single cluster.

# Schema

- **CSF function:** GOVERN (GV)
- **Bow-tie position:** cross-cutting

Applies across all ten clusters; see each [control-objective set](/controls/index.md).
