Third-party risk firms may tell you and give you insight into the general security posture of an organization, and we have far too often see compliance regimes are insufficient to ensure any reasonable level of security. There is also an inherent conflict when relying on third parties to certify compliance \u2026 they are being paid by the person they need to certify.<\/p>\n<p>I like including security \u201crequirements\u201d that a vendor would either not be able to do or would not be cost-effective to implement. I use this as a check for honesty. Sales teams will, by default, tell a customer they do everything and anything even when they don\u2019t to ensure a sale. Absent doing third-party verification or sending in an audit team, there is no way to evaluate every vendor in a cost-effective manner. <\/p>\n<p>This is why I try to include a \u201cvalidity check\u201d question in the requirements where an honest vendor would tell you, no, they don\u2019t do \u201cX\u201d and give you a good reason why they don\u2019t (not cost-effective, outside a reasonable risk model, etc.). It shows you the vendor is at least reading the requirements instead of button-mashing until they get a PO. It also shows me that I can have a conversation with that vendor peer-to-peer about reasonable ways we can protect our respective organizations.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, if a vendor lies to you during the sale, they\u2019ll lie to you after the sale.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div readability=\"10.473404255319\">\n<p>Keep up with the latest cybersecurity threats, newly-discovered vulnerabilities, data breach information, and emerging trends.
