GV.SC-01.069

Has your organization established a formal cross-functional team or committee responsible for cybersecurity supply chain risk management?

Explanation

A cross-functional cybersecurity supply chain risk management team ensures that all relevant departments (IT, security, legal, procurement, etc.) collaborate to identify, assess, and mitigate supply chain security risks. This coordination prevents siloed approaches that might miss critical vulnerabilities and ensures consistent security practices across the supply chain ecosystem. Evidence could include a charter document defining the cross-functional team structure, meeting minutes from regular coordination sessions, a RACI matrix showing responsibilities across departments, or formal policies documenting how different functions contribute to supply chain security risk management.

Implementation Example

Establish a cross-organizational mechanism that ensures alignment between functions that contribute to cybersecurity supply chain risk management, such as cybersecurity, IT, operations, legal, human resources, and engineering

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.
