THIRD-PARTY RISK MANAGEMENT

The number of data breaches continues to rise every year despite more spending on cybersecurity, and the crimes themselves are growing in sophistication and frequency. Industry experts estimate that about 60 percent of all data breaches happen via third-party vendors. While very few vendors actually achieve ISO 27001 certification, assuring customers they follow best practices in cybersecurity, we do.

Use these tips to select and assess your service management vendors and their dedication to information security and ISO 27001:2013 standards:

Compliant, Certified, or Neither?

Compliant and certified are NOT the same. Inquiry why the vendor didn’t take the final step? Did they fail the audit? Were they previously certified and failed to meet the ongoing required standards? Or is information security not a priority?

Ensuring a Vendor's Certified Status

Check the vendor’s certificate expiration date and the body who issued. Is the certificate still valid and was it issued by a certified body?

Assessing Relevancy to Your Connectivity Needs

Think about the activities you want your connectivity services vendor to perform and where. Does the scope provide adequate (or superior) coverage or is there gaps?

Make Sure Your Vendor Meets All Expectations

Take the time to ensure the vendor's information security controls meet your company's needs and requirements. The ISO 27001 certification process is an ongoing and evolving process. Your vendor should be committed to continuous improvement and be able to adapt to a changing business climate.
