ID.RA-01.152

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

Explanation

Process-level weakness hunting is the focus here, asking whether you regularly run vulnerability assessments of your business processes and procedures to surface cybersecurity gaps. 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.
