Governance principle
NRDEX is both a technology layer and a governed institutional environment. Participation, service publication, and access must be controlled through clear ownership and approval responsibilities.
Governance roles
-
Platform authority Maintains platform standards, membership rules, and operational oversight.
-
Data owner Defines the services it exposes and the conditions for their use.
-
Service consumer Uses approved services only for authorized purposes.
-
Technical operator Maintains infrastructure, certificates, connectivity, and monitoring.
Decision areas
- Membership approval
- Service publication approval
- Consumer authorization
- Security exception handling
- Incident escalation
- Change management
Minimum governance artifacts
- Participation agreement
- Service catalogue entry
- Access approval record
- Audit and log retention policy
- Incident response workflow
Control objective
Governance must ensure that NRDEX does not become an uncontrolled interoperability layer. Every service relationship should remain attributable, reviewable, and policy-bound.
