Control Objective
A specific goal or purpose for implementing a control within an organization's control framework.
Control objectives define what the control is intended to achieve and how it contributes to the overall risk management and compliance strategy of the organization.
They are typically established at various levels, such as strategic, tactical, and operational, and are aligned with the organization's business objectives and risk appetite.
Clear control objectives help ensure that controls are effective, relevant, and support the achievement of the organization's goals.
