GV.PO-02.055
Does your organization have a documented timeline for reviewing and updating security policies in response to changes in the risk environment or mission objectives?
Explanation
Regular reviews of security policies ensure they remain aligned with the organization's evolving risk landscape and business objectives. Changes in technology, regulatory requirements, business operations, or threat intelligence may necessitate policy updates to maintain effective security controls. Evidence could include a formal policy review schedule document, meeting minutes from risk committee reviews, or a change management log that shows when policies were reviewed and updated in response to identified changes in the risk environment.
Implementation Example
Provide a timeline for reviewing changes to the organization's risk environment (e.g., changes in risk or in the organization's mission objectives), and communicate recommended policy updates
