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.
