Does your organization have a formal process to receive, analyze, and respond to security vulnerabilities disclosed from both internal and external sources?

This question assesses whether your organization has established systematic procedures for handling vulnerability disclosures from various sources such as internal security teams, vendor bulletins, or external security researchers. An effective vulnerability management process ensures timely identification, prioritization, and remediation of security weaknesses before they can be exploited. Evidence of compliance could include a documented vulnerability management policy, screenshots of vulnerability tracking systems, process flowcharts showing the handling procedures from receipt to resolution, or metrics showing vulnerability response times and remediation rates.
