GV.SC-02.074

Has your organization established documented performance goals for personnel with cybersecurity risk management responsibilities, and do you periodically measure performance against these goals?

Explanation

This question assesses whether your organization has formalized expectations for cybersecurity personnel and tracks their performance to ensure continuous improvement in risk management activities. Performance goals should be specific, measurable, and aligned with your organization's overall security objectives, such as reducing incident response time, improving vulnerability remediation rates, or enhancing security awareness training effectiveness. Evidence could include documented performance metrics for security team members, periodic performance review templates that include cybersecurity KPIs, dashboards showing security performance trends over time, or improvement plans based on performance measurement results.

Implementation Example

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.
