A Cyber Security and Risk Transformation Strategy Company
Assisting IT organizations with their vendor selection, outsourcing transition and risk management leveraging industry standard platforms and solutions.
Security in vendor selection is the top priority for any business. Choosing IT vendors and assessing risk can ensure that companies remain well within their regulatory framework.
As vendor networks increase in complexity and as customer demands rise, businesses face a real challenge to identify the best vendors to host their company’s data storage and business processes. Some companies have a disorganized approach to selecting vendors, but finding time to catalog information about their standards and services always pays off.
From a security perspective, it can also be helpful to develop profiles for each possible vendor that gives information with how they will store and process your data. Answer questions about how much data they will house and whether or not they will have access to your computer network. Talking to the vendors will help assess their security standards, which can then be compared to your company’s standards.
Maintaining these profiles will help you fairly gage competing vendors and quickly identify any potential issues. You can also check to see what kind of licenses or certifications the possible vendors have, which can play an important role in ensuring the security of a company’s data.
Traditional IT security leaders have now become digital security leaders as they expand support to address risks for technology-savvy engineering and physical environments while embracing expanded roles for cloud and mobile services.
