ID.RA-01.152

Does your organization regularly conduct vulnerability assessments of business processes and procedures to identify potential cybersecurity weaknesses?

Explanation

This question assesses whether your organization systematically evaluates its operational workflows and procedures to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by threat actors. Such assessments should examine how information flows through your organization, where sensitive data is stored or transmitted, and how human behaviors might create security gaps that technical controls alone cannot address. Evidence of compliance could include documented vulnerability assessment reports specific to business processes, gap analysis documents comparing current practices against security standards, or minutes from security review meetings where process weaknesses were identified and remediation plans developed.

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.
