Does your organization have a process to regularly review and update cybersecurity policies and procedures to ensure alignment with your risk management strategy and overall cybersecurity objectives?

Explanation

Regular review of cybersecurity policies ensures they remain relevant to current threats and business objectives. Without periodic reviews, policies may become outdated as technology environments, threat landscapes, and organizational priorities change over time. This alignment is crucial for effective risk management and resource allocation. Evidence of fulfillment could include documented review schedules (e.g., quarterly or annual review calendars), meeting minutes from policy review sessions, change logs showing policy updates, formal sign-off documents from leadership approving policy revisions, or reports comparing current policies against risk management objectives.

Implementation Example

Periodically review policy and supporting processes and procedures to ensure that they align with risk management strategy objectives and priorities, as well as the high-level direction of the cybersecurity policy

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.
