GV.OC-03.004

Has your organization established a formal process to track and manage legal and regulatory requirements for protecting personal information?

Explanation

This question assesses whether your organization has a systematic approach to identifying, monitoring, and complying with privacy laws and regulations that apply to your business operations and data processing activities. Examples include HIPAA for healthcare data, GDPR for EU residents' data, CCPA for California consumers, and industry-specific requirements that govern how personal information must be protected. Evidence could include a documented compliance management process, a regulatory tracking matrix showing applicable laws and their requirements, meeting minutes from compliance reviews, or reports from a governance/compliance tool that monitors regulatory changes and tracks implementation status of required controls.

Implementation Example

Determine a process to track and manage legal and regulatory requirements regarding protection of individuals' information (e.g., Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, California Consumer Privacy Act, General Data Protection Regulation)

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.
