GV.OV-02.061

Does your organization regularly evaluate the performance of cybersecurity roles to identify necessary policy improvements?

Explanation

This question assesses whether your organization has a formal process to review how effectively cybersecurity personnel are performing their duties and whether existing policies support or hinder their work. Regular evaluation helps identify gaps in policies, procedures, or training that may need to be addressed to improve security outcomes. For example, if security analysts consistently struggle with incident response timing due to approval bottlenecks, this might indicate a need for policy adjustments. Evidence could include performance review documentation specific to security roles, meeting minutes from policy review sessions that incorporate performance data, or formal reports/recommendations for policy changes based on performance metrics of security personnel.

Implementation Example

Review the performance oversight of those in cybersecurity-related roles to determine whether policy changes are necessary

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.
