Two city departments argue whether a shared integration hub belongs in either department’s IRM scope. What is the soundest handling?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Shared hubs fall through the cracks when each team says “that’s theirs.” Put the integration hub on the map once, name an owner, and scope it deliberately. Shared tech still needs a single governed entity—not a polite shrug from both sides.
Full Explanation
Shared platforms and integration hubs often support multiple departments yet remain material to risk and compliance. Explicit entity inclusion with assigned ownership prevents mutual exclusion gaps. Duplicating the same CI as two entities creates conflicting scores and evidence; omitting it creates blind spots. Entity framework design should capture shared services as first-class scoped objects.
