Does your organization have a comprehensive cybersecurity risk strategy that is reviewed and updated at least annually and after significant security events?

Explanation

A comprehensive cybersecurity risk strategy provides the foundation for an organization's security posture by establishing priorities, resource allocation, and response protocols. Regular reviews ensure the strategy remains relevant as threats evolve, while updates after major security events incorporate lessons learned and adapt to emerging risks. Without a current strategy, organizations may have fragmented security controls that don't address their most significant risks. Evidence of fulfillment could include a dated cybersecurity risk strategy document with revision history, meeting minutes from annual review sessions, documentation of strategy updates following security incidents, and a formal calendar or process document showing the scheduled review cycle.

Implementation Example

Leaders direct the CISO to maintain a comprehensive cybersecurity risk strategy and review and update it at least annually and after major events

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.
