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)
