GV.OV-02.060

Has your organization reviewed recent audit findings to verify that your cybersecurity strategy effectively ensures compliance with both internal policies and external regulatory requirements?

Explanation

This question assesses whether your organization has a process to evaluate the effectiveness of your cybersecurity strategy through audit findings analysis. Regular review of audit results helps identify compliance gaps, validate control effectiveness, and determine if your security approach meets both internal standards and external regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, or industry-specific requirements. Evidence could include a formal audit findings report with management responses, a compliance gap analysis document, or meeting minutes from security governance committees where audit results were reviewed and remediation plans were discussed. These documents should show clear traceability between identified issues, compliance requirements, and any resulting strategic adjustments.

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.
