Control objective: A desired outcome or end result that is established to guide the design and implementation of controls. It is used in the development of a control framework to ensure that controls are aligned with the organization’s goals and objectives. For example, a control objective for an e-commerce website might be to ensure the confidentiality of customer data, or for a manufacturing company, it could be to prevent unauthorized access to production processes.
