GV.RM-06.027

Does your organization use standardized templates or tools to document and track cybersecurity risk information?

Explanation

Using standardized templates like risk registers ensures consistent documentation of risk details including descriptions, potential impact, mitigation strategies, and ownership. This structured approach helps organizations maintain visibility of their risk landscape, track remediation efforts, and support informed decision-making about resource allocation. Evidence could include a sample risk register template (with sensitive information redacted), screenshots of a risk management tool, or documentation showing the organization's risk documentation methodology and how it's implemented across the enterprise.

Implementation Example

Create and use templates (e.g., a risk register) to document cybersecurity risk information (e.g., risk description, exposure, treatment, and ownership)

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.
