A configuration control board (CCB)--also known as a configuration management board--is a group that should play an essential role in an organization's overall network strategy. Typically chaired by the CIO, these boards usually include voting representatives from every department in the company.

The overall goal of a CCB is to make decisions that increase the operational efficiency and usefulness of the network's ability to support the business process of the company. Security is an integral part to the CCB process, and members should take every opportunity to address security concerns during every phase of configuration management.

[CLB: This is not wholly a governance board. A parallel stakeholders board can be form including execs from c-level, the board, shareholders, and the CCB to overview and manage all busness governance issues. ]
