40 Questions You Should Have in Your Vendor Security Risk Assessment

There are thousands of questions you could ask your vendor about security. Can you determine which of them are the most important?

Security questionnaires and assessments are integral parts of comprehensive Third Party Risk Management (TPRM) programs. But if you’re just getting started in the creation of your vendor risk assessment, you probably want to know what the most vital, high-level questions are and why you should be asking them. That’s why we’ve created this guide.

In this ebook, you’ll learn:

  • Which questions to consider including in your vendor security assessment and why they are important
  • Which industry-standard security assessment methodologies you should review
  • Why a security assessment alone is not enough to continuously monitor and assess the security posture of your third parties and vendors

Download this ebook to better understand what critical questions you should be asking in your TPRM program and why they’re so vital to your cybersecurity.
