GV.PO-02.056
Does your organization have a process to regularly review and update security policies to reflect changes in legal and regulatory requirements?
Explanation
This question assesses whether your organization maintains compliance with evolving legal and regulatory landscapes by systematically updating security policies. Organizations operate in dynamic regulatory environments where requirements related to data protection, privacy, industry-specific regulations, and international standards frequently change. Without regular policy updates, organizations risk non-compliance, potential fines, and security gaps. Evidence could include a documented policy review schedule, change logs showing policy updates with references to specific regulatory changes, meeting minutes from policy review sessions, or a formal change management process for policy updates that includes regulatory assessment steps.
