Is your cybersecurity risk management function integrated into your organization's enterprise risk management (ERM) processes?

Explanation

This question assesses whether cybersecurity risks are managed as part of the broader organizational risk landscape rather than in isolation. Effective integration ensures cybersecurity considerations influence strategic business decisions, resource allocation, and risk acceptance thresholds across the enterprise. Evidence could include documentation showing cybersecurity representation in ERM committee meetings, risk registers that incorporate cybersecurity risks alongside other business risks, or formal governance documentation defining how cybersecurity risk management interfaces with enterprise risk management processes.

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.
