Does your organization conduct an annual review of cybersecurity policies, processes, and procedures that incorporates lessons learned from incidents and operational experiences?

Explanation

Regular reviews of cybersecurity documentation ensure that security practices remain current, effective, and aligned with evolving threats and business needs. By incorporating lessons learned from security incidents, near-misses, and day-to-day operations, organizations can adapt their security posture to address emerging risks and improve overall resilience. This process helps identify gaps in existing controls and provides opportunities to implement more effective security measures based on real-world experience. Evidence of compliance could include dated review logs, meeting minutes from policy review sessions, change management records showing policy updates based on specific incidents, a documented lessons-learned process, or annual security documentation with version history showing revisions and the rationale behind changes.

Implementation Example

Annually review cybersecurity policies, processes, and procedures to take lessons learned into account

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.
