RS.CO-01

Do personnel understand their specific roles, responsibilities, and the order of operations during a security incident response?

Explanation

This question assesses whether staff members know exactly what actions they need to take when a security incident occurs, including who to contact, what procedures to follow, and in what sequence. Effective incident response requires clear role definition and understanding of the escalation path to minimize confusion and response time during high-stress situations. Evidence could include documented incident response plans with clearly defined roles and responsibilities, records of tabletop exercises or simulations, and signed acknowledgments from staff confirming they understand their specific incident response duties.

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.
