GV.OV-03.063

Does your organization regularly review key performance indicators (KPIs) to verify that security policies and procedures are achieving their intended objectives?

Explanation

This question assesses whether your organization has established measurable metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of security policies and procedures, and whether these metrics are regularly reviewed to ensure objectives are being met. Effective KPIs might include metrics such as percentage of employees completing security training, number of security incidents, mean time to detect/respond to incidents, or compliance rates with specific security controls. Evidence could include documentation of security KPIs, meeting minutes from security review sessions, dashboards or reports showing KPI tracking over time, and documented actions taken in response to KPI reviews that didn't meet targets.

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.
