Does your organization have a documented process for reviewing and updating cybersecurity plans at least annually or when significant improvements are needed?

Explanation

Regular reviews of cybersecurity plans ensure they remain effective against evolving threats and align with organizational changes. Without systematic reviews, security controls may become outdated, creating vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers. This question assesses whether your organization has formalized the cadence and triggers for updating critical security documentation. Evidence could include a documented review policy with timestamps of past reviews, meeting minutes from security planning sessions, or a change log showing updates to cybersecurity plans with dates and rationales for changes.

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.
