The design factor associated with a highly regulated enterprise is likely to attribute more importance to documented work products and policies. A design factor is a characteristic or aspect of an enterprise that influences the design and implementation of a governance system. They include factors such as enterprise size, industry sector, risk profile, regulatory environment, sourcing model, etc. A highly regulated enterprise is one that operates in an industry or market that is subject to strict laws, rules, standards, or guidelines that affect its business processes, products, services, etc. A highly regulated enterprise would need to ensure compliance with these requirements by documenting its work products and policies, as well as by providing evidence of their implementation and effectiveness.12 References: COBIT 2019 Framework: Introduction and Methodology, COBIT 2019 Design Guide: Designing an Information and Technology Governance Solution
