RS.AN-04

Does your organization categorize security incidents according to established incident response plans?

Explanation

This question assesses whether your organization has a structured approach to classifying security incidents based on predefined categories in your incident response plans. Proper categorization ensures appropriate response procedures are followed based on incident type, severity, and impact (e.g., data breach, malware infection, denial of service). Evidence could include your incident response plan with clearly defined incident categories, incident classification criteria, incident handling procedures for each category, and sample incident tickets or reports showing how actual incidents were categorized according to the plan.

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.
