Does your organization regularly update cybersecurity policies based on risk management review results to maintain acceptable risk levels?

Explanation

This question assesses whether your organization has an established process to periodically review cybersecurity risk management findings and incorporate those insights into policy updates. Effective risk management requires continuous improvement as threats evolve, technologies change, and organizational priorities shift. Without regular policy updates informed by risk assessments, security controls may become outdated or misaligned with actual risk exposure. Evidence could include documented policy review schedules, meeting minutes from risk review sessions, change logs for policy documents showing updates based on risk findings, or formal risk acceptance documentation for cases where policies were not updated despite identified risks.

Implementation Example

Update policy based on periodic reviews of cybersecurity risk management results to ensure that policy and supporting processes and procedures adequately maintain risk at an acceptable level

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.
