GV.SC-01.068

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

This question assesses whether your cybersecurity supply chain risk management program, has been properly operationalized through defined processes that connect strategic goals to actual implementation. 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.

Implementation Example

Develop and implement program processes based on the strategy, objectives, policies, and procedures that are agreed upon and performed by the organizational stakeholders

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.
