GV.RM-03.018

Does your organization integrate cybersecurity risk management into its enterprise risk management framework?

Explanation

This question assesses whether cybersecurity risks are evaluated and managed alongside other business risks such as financial, operational, compliance, and reputational risks, rather than being handled in isolation. Integrating cybersecurity into the broader risk management framework ensures consistent risk evaluation, prioritization, and resource allocation across the organization. Evidence could include an enterprise risk register that incorporates cybersecurity risks, meeting minutes from risk committee discussions that address cybersecurity alongside other risks, or a documented risk management framework that explicitly includes cybersecurity risk categories with the same assessment methodology used for other business risks.

Implementation Example

Aggregate and manage cybersecurity risks alongside other enterprise risks (e.g., compliance, financial, operational, regulatory, reputational, safety)

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.
