DE.AE-04.298

Does your organization allow individuals to create their own estimates of impact and scope for security assessments or risk evaluations?

Explanation

This question evaluates whether your organization permits individuals to independently estimate the impact and scope of security issues or projects without standardized guidance or oversight. Allowing individuals to create their own estimates can lead to inconsistent risk assessments, subjective prioritization, and potentially overlooked security concerns due to varying expertise levels and perspectives. Evidence of compliance could include documented risk assessment methodologies, templates with standardized impact and scope criteria, peer review processes for estimates, or governance procedures that require validation of individual estimates by security teams or committees.

ResponseHub is the product I wish I had when I was a CTO

Previously I was co-founder and CTO of Progression, a VC backed HR-tech startup used by some of the biggest names in tech.

As our sales grew, security questionnaires quickly became one of my biggest pain-points. They were confusing, hard to delegate and arrived like London busses - 3 at a time!

I'm building ResponseHub so that other teams don't have to go through this. Leave the security questionnaires to us so you can get back to closing deals, shipping product and building your team.
