Kontrollstrategi

Kontrollstrategi is a term used across fields such as risk management, control theory, and governance to describe the overarching plan for ensuring that actions and processes yield intended results while staying within defined limits. It specifies which controls to apply, when they should be used, who is responsible, and how outcomes will be measured and adjusted. A kontrollstrategi aims to balance efficiency with safety, manage uncertainty in operations, and provide a coherent framework for achieving objectives.

In control theory, a control strategy is a rule or algorithm that determines the input to a system from its observed state in order to drive the system toward a desired target. In risk management and compliance contexts, a kontrollstrategi outlines control activities such as preventive, detective, and corrective measures, the associated control objectives, policies, risk tolerance, and responsibilities. It also describes monitoring, verification, and feedback mechanisms used to assess effectiveness and trigger improvements.

Developing a kontrollstrategi typically begins with a risk assessment, followed by selecting controls and defining performance indicators and reporting processes. The strategy is documented and aligned with relevant standards and regulations, such as information security or quality management frameworks. It is intended to be dynamic, with periodic reviews and updates as processes, threats, or objectives change. While the term is widely used across domains, its specifics depend on context and organizational needs.
