# Governance Controls
Copy pageCopied
Governance Controls pair a detection definition with an organization's detection, notification, and mitigation configuration within the Governance Console. Each control reports how a class of governance issue (such as unused API keys or unqueried metrics) is detected and remediated, along with counts of active and mitigated detections.
