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.

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.
