SECURITY DECISION RECORD
Context: Derivative litigation themes in C.A. No. 2019-0965-LWW focused on oversight quality and whether cyber diligence translated to post-close governance. This decision records the selected governance mechanism for integration-risk accountability and board metric quality.
Options Considered: (1) Adopt integration scorecard with mandatory board cyber KPI pack and dated exception governance (selected). (2) Maintain separate team-level trackers without board normalization—rejected for weak oversight evidence. (3) Defer governance changes pending litigation outcome—rejected due to ongoing operational risk.
Rationale: Selected to provide defensible governance traceability and accelerate closure of integration control debt. Inputs included litigation themes, internal audit observations, and program delivery constraints.
Commitments: Deploy unified scorecard by Q3 2021; monthly integration-risk review; unresolved critical exceptions escalate to executive governance with documented action plans.
