GV.PO-02.054
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 Without regular policy updates informed by risk assessments, security controls may become outdated or misaligned with actual risk exposure.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
