Has your organization implemented a formal vulnerability management plan that includes identification, assessment, prioritization, and remediation processes?

Explanation

A vulnerability management plan is essential for systematically identifying and addressing security weaknesses across your systems and applications. This plan should outline processes for discovering vulnerabilities through scanning tools, assessing their severity based on potential impact, prioritizing fixes based on risk levels, and implementing appropriate remediation measures. Evidence could include a documented vulnerability management policy/procedure, scan schedules, risk scoring methodology, remediation timeframes, and reports showing vulnerability tracking from identification through resolution.

Implementation Example

Create a vulnerability management plan to identify and assess all types of vulnerabilities and to prioritize, test, and implement risk responses

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.
