GV.RR-02.040

Have you established documented performance goals for personnel with cybersecurity risk management responsibilities and implemented a process to measure their performance against these goals?

Explanation

This question assesses whether your organization has defined clear expectations for staff responsible for cybersecurity risk management and evaluates their performance against these metrics. Establishing measurable goals creates accountability and helps identify skill gaps or areas where additional training or resources may be needed. Regular performance measurement enables continuous improvement in your security posture by ensuring cybersecurity staff are effectively executing their responsibilities. Evidence could include: documented job descriptions with cybersecurity performance metrics, performance review templates specific to security roles, reports showing periodic performance evaluations of security personnel, or improvement plans developed based on performance measurements.

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.
