Governance

The group's decision rights, its relationship with the companies, and the rules it is bound by.

What the group decides, and what the company decides

This is the most concrete question about any group structure, and the answer is usually unwritten. At Moz Group decision rights are deliberately narrow: the group takes on capital, shared infrastructure and coordination between companies; decisions on product, pricing and team stay with the company.

Decision rights
Matter	Group	Company
Product roadmap	Does not intervene	Full authority
Pricing	Does not intervene	Full authority
Hiring and team	Does not intervene	Full authority
Capital and investment	Decides	Proposes
Brand and trade name	Approves	Operates
Information security standard	Sets the minimum frame	Applies and certifies

The governance frame

One legal entity, one responsibility

Each group company has its own legal personality, its own contracts and its own financial responsibility. One company's commitment does not bind the others, and certificates are issued in the company's name rather than attributed to the group.

Shared infrastructure, separate data

The group's companies share infrastructure such as identity management, the security framework and engineering practice. Customer data is not shared: each company's data stays within its own boundary, and any transfer between companies happens only with the customer's knowledge and consent.

Certified management systems

Independently audited management systems are operated in information security, service management, business continuity and risk. The group sets the minimum frame; certification and audit remain the company's own responsibility.
