Before you create information systems, you will want to have at least three people defined in your organization who will be associated with that system: A business owner and a technical owner for the information system and a default person in charge of implementing each control for that information system. The last is the most important because every control newly created for that system will have this person's name associated with it and if you decide to change it later you will have to do that for each individual control. The business owner is typically the person in the business unit that is in charge of the information within the new system and the technical owner is the person in charge of ensuring that the system is properly configured and operational - usually someone with the technology department of the organization. Changing the business and technical owners is not that difficult. But changing the owners for all the controls can be a big task - so this one you should define before you start.
