Governance

Governance supporting trust and responsible decisions

A visual composition representing governance, review, and decision records

This page outlines Cup Code principles for accountability, information protection, risk management, and conflicts of interest.

Policies

Principles

Clear responsibility in decisions and access

Material decisions follow documentation, review, and clear ownership.

Defined responsibilities

Each role knows its decision scope and what requires review.

Limited access

Access follows need and is removed when the role or need changes.

Documented decisions

We record the decision, reason, impact, and follow-up owner.

Regular review

Policies and controls are reviewed when services or risks change.

Risk management

We review impact before choosing controls

We assess risk by impact and likelihood, then assign an owner, response, and review time.

Product risk

Reliability, performance, accessibility, and service continuity.

Security and privacy

Access, data, integrations, and report response.

Suppliers and partners

Scope, responsibilities, information handling, and continuity.

Conflicts of interest

Disclosure, review, and separation of decisions when needed.

Operating model

A decision with an owner, evidence, and review

The platform links policy, risk, controls, approvals, and evidence and prevents self-approval where separation is required.

  1. 01
    Identify obligation and risk

    Record source, scope, owner, and impact.

  2. 02
    Design policy and control

    Define owner, evidence, and test method.

  3. 03
    Review and approve

    Route the version to required reviewers without self-approval.

  4. 04
    Operate and test

    Record result, exception, and remediation plan.

  5. 05
    Publish and review

    Publish the public version and review on schedule or change.

We do not show evidence or figures that do not exist

Governance views show a truthful empty state where no actual record exists. Publishing a policy alone does not prove compliance. Controls must operate, be tested, and retain evidence.
