<p>Also known as the three lines of defense model, the three lines model was originally defined by the Institute of Internal Auditors. The IIA based the model on the idea that three lines of defense work together to provide structure around <a href=”https://www.techtarget.com/searchsecurity/definition/What-is-risk-management-and-why-is-it-important”>risk management</a> and internal governance. The model clearly defines roles, including oversight by a governing body, senior management and independent assurance.</p>
<p>This model applies to all organizations and aims to serve the following purposes:</p>
<ul class=”default-list”>
<li>Adapt to meet organizational objectives.</li>
<li>Focus on risk management to meet and achieve objectives.</li>
<li>Understand the roles and responsibilities of all positions in the model and their relationship with one another.</li>
<li>Execute measures to align activities and objectives to the stakeholders’ interests.</li>
<li>Foster structured collaboration and communication across various lines of defense.</li>
</ul>
