The control owner is the individual accountable for implementing and managing specific controls that mitigate risks. While the risk owner is responsible for the overall risk and decision-making, it is the control owner who ensures the selected mitigation is effectively implemented and maintained.
“The control owner is responsible for ensuring that the control is properly designed, implemented, and operating effectively.”
ISACA practice questions stress this distinction: the control owner is tasked with the execution of mitigation strategies.
