Has the organization identified specialized roles that require additional cybersecurity training beyond the baseline security awareness program?

Explanation

Different roles within an organization face different security risks and responsibilities. Specialized roles such as finance personnel who handle sensitive financial data, IT administrators with elevated system privileges, or executives with access to strategic information require targeted training beyond basic security awareness. Identifying these roles is the first step in developing role-specific security training programs that address unique threats and responsibilities. Evidence of fulfillment could include a documented list or matrix of job roles/functions mapped to their required specialized cybersecurity training requirements. This document should identify which positions require additional security training, what specific training is needed, and the rationale for these requirements based on access to sensitive data or systems.

Implementation Example

Identify the specialized roles within the organization that require additional cybersecurity training, such as physical and cybersecurity personnel, finance personnel, senior leadership, and anyone with access to business-critical data

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.
