About vendor assessments

Overview

Conducting a vendor security review is not only crucial from the perspective of the vendors themselves but also holds significant importance for your customers. Especially for critical business applications, where customer data may be shared on the vendor platform, maintaining stringent security measures becomes paramount.

To uphold alignment with your organization's security policy and ensure high security standards, adopting a periodic review process for existing vendors and implementing a mandatory review for all new vendors is considered best practice. This approach helps safeguard sensitive data, build trust with customers, and fortify the overall security posture of your organization. Prioritizing vendor assessments is a strategic and proactive measure to protect valuable assets and foster a secure business environment.
