Does your organization regularly collect and report cybersecurity risk metrics to senior leadership?

Explanation

This question assesses whether the organization has established a formal process for measuring, tracking, and communicating cybersecurity risks to executive leadership. Effective risk metrics might include number of security incidents, vulnerability remediation rates, security control effectiveness scores, compliance status, or risk exposure trends over time. Evidence could include dashboard reports, executive briefing documents, board meeting minutes that include cybersecurity discussions, or formal risk reporting templates that show regular communication of security metrics to leadership.

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.
