Three Lines of Defense Template

Description

Clarify organizational risk governance with this visually structured three lines of defense template. The slide presents a comprehensive model, breaking down the roles of senior management, internal functions, and oversight bodies into three distinct, color-coded blocks. The first line (red) focuses on management controls; the second line (blue) details risk, compliance, and financial controls; and the third line (green) highlights internal audit responsibilities. Supporting roles from governing bodies, external audits, and regulators are depicted to the right for full context. This layout helps businesses communicate accountability, oversight, and assurance mechanisms effectively across teams and leadership.

Who is it for

Designed for risk managers, compliance officers, auditors, internal control professionals, and senior executives seeking to present internal governance structures to stakeholders, board members, or during audit sessions.

Other Uses

Easily adapt the structure to explain IT security protocols, corporate governance frameworks, operational oversight systems, or departmental accountability models. Customizable icons and text make it versatile for various industries and enterprise scales.
