ID.RA-06.166

Does your organization have a formal process to track the progress of risk response implementation?

Explanation

Tracking risk response implementation is essential for ensuring that identified security risks are being addressed according to plan and within expected timeframes. Without proper tracking mechanisms, risks may remain unmitigated, potentially exposing the organization to security incidents or compliance violations. Evidence could include a current Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) document, risk register with implementation status columns, risk detail reports showing remediation progress, or screenshots of a governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) tool that tracks risk remediation activities.

Implementation Example

Track the progress of risk response implementation (e.g., plan of action and milestones [POA&M], risk register, risk detail report)

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.
