ID.RA-01.147

Does your organization implement vulnerability management tools to detect unpatched software and misconfigurations?

Explanation

Vulnerability management tools automatically scan systems to identify outdated software, missing security patches, and configuration errors that could be exploited by attackers. These tools help prioritize remediation efforts by categorizing vulnerabilities based on severity and potential impact to your environment. Evidence could include screenshots of vulnerability scanning dashboards showing recent scans, vulnerability management reports highlighting identified issues and remediation status, or documentation of the vulnerability management process including scan frequency and remediation timelines.

Implementation Example

Use vulnerability management technologies to identify unpatched and misconfigured software

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.
