Has your organization developed and implemented the processes from the cybersecurity supply chain risk management program, that align with your security strategy, objectives, policies, and procedures with documented stakeholder agreement and participation?
Explanation
Turning strategy into practice is the focus here, specifically whether your C-SCRM program has been operationalized through defined processes with documented stakeholder agreement and participation. These processes should be formally documented, agreed upon by relevant stakeholders, and actively performed across the organization. Without this alignment, security initiatives may lack direction, coordination, and organizational buy-in.
Evidence could include process documentation that references the security strategy and policies, meeting minutes showing stakeholder review and approval of processes, RACI matrices defining stakeholder responsibilities, or workflow diagrams showing how security processes are implemented across different organizational functions.
